I'm working on unicode vector 37 (I'm using
http://bibliofile.duhs.duke.edu/gww/fonts/Unicode.html )
Since I'm a novice in this  area, any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks in advance
luigi

Hmm, not to discourage this effort, but I already defined these as symbols:
http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/UnicodeSymbolDemo.pdf
and symb-uni.tex

Would you find these as unicode characters in an input stream in your 
application?

Cheers,
adam

ok, added, but i'm not so sure about the  default list, maybe that 
should be something  enco-037 

Maybe we need to add some examples that show how to map the fonts onto 
the ones adam uses in symbols

\definefontsynonym[UnicodeRegular25][....]

and such

done at
http://www.logosrl.it/context/unicode/enco-037.tex

But
1) should it be into enco-uc.tex ? and  \startencoding[uc]  or 
\startencoding[default]  ?
2) \ifcase\numexpr(#1+1)\or %% a trick to avoid #1=000
seem to works ,
 \ifcase\numexpr(#1+0) %%
no
Why?

I am not sure what you want and what exactly doesn't work,
but it is better to use numexpr like this:

   \ifcase \numexpr #1+0\relax

because the closing ) does not actually cause it to stop
scanning forward (it stops in the first case because the
\or cannot be part of \numexpr).

Done

However any unic-xxx.tex have this line, and I try to make the same thing.

unic-001.tex has
\ifcase\numexpr(#1+1)\or
  \Amacron       \or
So if #1 = 000 then we jump to \Amacron and this is ok.

In unic-037.tex
\ifcase\numexpr #1\relax %
   \unicodeLightHorizontal\or
   \unicodeHeavyHorizontal\or
with #1=001
I jump  to   \unicodeLightHorizontal  first (and this is wrong)
and then to    \unicodeHeavyHorizontal (and this is ok)

With
\ifcase\numexpr #1+1\relax %
   \unicodeLightHorizontal\or
   \unicodeHeavyHorizontal\or
with #1=001
I jump  \unicodeHeavyHorizontal (and this is ok)

are equivalent and as taco says, the relax way is better

default is the fallback, and encoding uc is only used on xetex where we 
have unicode fonts, otherwise ec or texnansi or .. is in use and 
therefore you need the default as fallback
