Re: Font encoding: \uppercased

[David Wooten <dw@trichotomic.net>]

Greetings Vit, all,

Thanks for the response.
I'm finally getting around to looking into this again. My first 
attempts haven't yielded any good results. Could you (or someone) say a 
little more (newbie-explicit)? I assume that the enco-*.tex files 
you're referring to are in .../context/base/, where there are a series 
of 30 or so such files. It isn't clear to me which one to use. Does the 
encoding refer to font encoding? \x1f—in which case there is no 
"enco-8r.tex"\x1f— or to something else? — enco-pdf.tex for example.

Thanks very much,
David Wooten
