Dear gang,
Why does lmr in ConTeXt use the ec instead of the texnansi encoding? I just
noticed that all of my macros that use, e.g.,
\char'25
are now bringing up the wrong symbols. Shouldn't ConTeXt default to the
encoding most consistent with cmr (surely I am not the only one who depended
on the old TeX encoding->)

lmr is defined for both ec and texnansi encodings (and even for qx). But
ec is default. Use
\usetypescript[latin-modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[latin-modern]
Ishamid, \char is wrong approach since it is encoding-dependent
definition. Use glyph name instead, like \endash, \Aacute.
But ... your glyph number 25 is not defined in the texnansi. So what it is?

i'd like to make texnansi default, but unfortunately most other (tex live) fonts
ship only in ec encoding

Ok; it just seems strange that texnansi is not the default, since that's
closer to Knuth's original. Maybe its because I (like Knuth) am in America
where we don't have accents-)

Are those names defined in Plain TeX? But that's a good idea anyway; I'll just
depend on the ConTeXt framework.
>But ... your glyph number 25 is not defined in the texnansi. So what it is?
TeXBook, page 427, character '025
(in ec, \char'10 or \textbreve)
Best and Thnx!
