texnansi and accents

Today Erik Frambach helped me figure out the following problem:

When I used DVISCR to view a ConTeXt file that was compiled with PDFtex, I
couldn't see accents on letters. DVIPS printed successful accents though,
working from the same DVI file (the latter thanks to help by Taco
Hoekwater).

The solution was: since DVIPS uses the "texnansi.enc" encoding file,
DVISCR should be able to get the same information. This was done by me by
simply copying the command "-etexnansi.enc" in the PSFONTS.INF file, like
this:

tnr    -etexnansi.enc -atnr.afm tnr.pfb
tnri   -etexnansi.enc -atnri.afm tnri.pfb
tnru   -etexnansi.enc -atnri.afm -S-0.3 tnri.pfb
tnro   -etexnansi.enc -atnr.afm -S0.167 tnr.pfb
tnrb   -etexnansi.enc -atnrb.afm tnrb.pfb
tnrbi  -etexnansi.enc -atnrbi.afm tnrbi.pfb
tnrbu  -etexnansi.enc -atnrbi.afm -S-0.3 tnrbi.pfb
tnrbo  -etexnansi.enc -atnrb.afm -S0.167 tnrb.pfb
tnrbx  -etexnansi.enc -atnrb.afm -E1.2 tnrb.pfb
tnrbix -etexnansi.enc -atnrbi.afm -E1.2 tnrbi.pfb
tnrbux -etexnansi.enc -atnrbi.afm -S-0.3 -E1.2 tnrbi.pfb
tnrbox -etexnansi.enc -atnrb.afm -S0.167 -E1.2 tnrb.pfb
tnre   -etexnansi.enc -atnrexp.afm tnrexp.pfb
tnrei  -etexnansi.enc -atnrexpi.afm tnrexpi.pfb
tnreu  -etexnansi.enc -atnrexpi.afm -S-0.3 tnrexpi.pfb
tnreo  -etexnansi.enc -atnrexp.afm -S0.167 tnrexp.pfb
tnreoo -etexnansi.enc -atnrexp.afm -S0.3 tnrexp.pfb
tnrexp -etexnansi.enc -atnrexp.afm tnrexp.pfb

Note: I believe that some of the above are extensions to the font family
which are only "swallowed" by my PS printer if and when I have DVIPS send
the file with the -V siwtch, ie. as bitmaps. I maybe should take out these
extensions to be able to send better PS files to remote printers.

Met hartelijke groet!
