its hard to believe that such a coarse error in 8r.enc would have
survived so long. I'd review the other files

it's not actually x that gives z, if that's what you've read.  it's
oslash that gives uacute.  many of the other position > 127 glyphs are
misplaced as well.  I _do_ believe such errors can survive long, it's
happened before.  

I believe it's the ec encoding I want.
