Hello,
I was just about to send my book to press when I noticed the '£' appears
in my PDF as an italic dollar sign.
I looked it up in the archive and google. Have tried \pound and
\sterling -- nothing seems to work.
It's very strange, when I output the chapter's product separately from
the project the £ appears as expected. When I generate the project it
appears as italic $.
I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2010.10.19 23:03 MKII fmt: 2010.10.20 int:
english/english with TeXLive 2010 on MacOS X 10.6.
And I have the following in my environment file:
\language[en]
\mainlanguage[en]
\enableregime[utf-8]
I'm using TeX Gyre fonts.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Elliot

Do you have a minimal example that demonstrates the behaviour? The
following works for me (but I didn't test it inside project):
\mainlanguage[en]
\enableregime[utf-8]
\usetypescript[heros][ec]
\setupbodyfont[heros]
\starttext
abc £
\stoptext

this depends on the font ... normally it should work out ok if you use \$
there is some historic issue here: in the cmr there were different
characters in the same slot for italic / regular
afaik tex gyre is normal
