Another verbatim bug?

Another verbatim bug?

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear gang,

\type and \start-\stoptyping produce
different results in the following instance:

=======================
% output=pdf interface=en

\starttext

\type{texfont --help}

\starttyping

texfont --help

\stoptyping

\stoptext
=======================

The bug is apparently in \type: it only generates one dash.

This doesn't happen on my system, but perhaps you're using a newer
ConTeXt version than I am,

the Latin Modern fonts are in 'ec' encoding, and \type does not
take that into account (yet). If you switch to texnansi encoding,
the problem goes away:

   \usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
   \setupbodyfont[modern]

this will be repaired in the next version of the ec metrics

Yeah, that appears to be a bug, I was in touch with Hans a couple of 
weeks ago about it.

But a fairly harmless one...
