Agree. There are more chars affected by this. 

Hans, I think the best thing we can do is add lines to enco-* for the
next update:

% [\redefinecharacter sterling]

\startencoding[texnansi]

\definecharacter sterling 163
....

\stopencoding

There are many more of these things (\paragraph,\dagger,\cent etc.),
and almost all of these text symbols do depend on font encoding.

Taco
