various issues from the CVS

There is the following ChangeLog entry:

  * tex/latin1.enc: Replace /minus with /hyphen.  WL says that's the
    latin1 name.

This is not correct.  I say that the EC fonts don't have a /minus
glyph, and that latin1.enc must be adapted accordingly if used as an
font encoding vector for EC fonts.  You should probably avoid
`latin1.enc' as an output encoding name.  What about renaming it to
output-ec.enc or something like that?

Another remark from book-paper-defaults.ly asks

  %% This is weird; `everyone' uses LATIN1?  How does I select TeX
  %% input encoding in EMACS? -- jcn

There is no `TeX input encoding' per se.  You can make TeX accept
(almost) any input character set by making character codes `active',
this is, input character codes invoke macros which then select the
proper TeX glyphs.

Maybe I don't understand the question correctly.  What do you want to
achieve?
