I think it's got the most useful (to Hans) glyphs packed in there.
Compare texnansi and ec encodings and decide which of these fits your 
needs.
AFAIK ec has some more eastern european signs.

[NTG-context] Choosing an encoding - what are the consequences?

[Stefan Wachter]

Hi all!
I am on the burdensome path to understanding font handling in ConText. 
Now I wonder what the consequences are with choosing certain encodings.

For example if I choose 8a encoding (called Adobe standard encoding):
1. There are lots of empty slots in this encoding. What does ConText do 
if a symbol that is to be typeset is not contained in an encoding?

2. Can I ommit the 8a encoding in map files when PDF documents are 
generated (because it is the Adobe standard encoding)?

3. Somewhere I read that texnansi is a preferred encoding. Why?
Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan
