There is no difference between tx8r.enc and 8r.enc and this is the reason tx8r.enc has been removed from teTeX.
From tx8r.enc:
% 8r.enc (0.6, 1-jul-98, by S. Rahtz, P. MacKay, Alan Jeffrey, B. Horn, K. Berry) renamed /TeXBase1Encoding [ /.notdef ...
The teTeX .map files use 8r.enc instead.
Hans, doesn't it make sense to remove tx8r.enc from your Context
distribution?
I'd even vote for removing them from CTAN. In this case the map files in CTAN/tex-archive/fonts/[tp]xfonts/dvips/ have to be changed. The [tp]xfonts are under GPL, BTW.
i'm getting pretty fed up with such changes; as with other changes (patterns to mention one) such drops/changes are not communicated, and the result is broken packages; it gets impossible to keep track of it and i fear that we tex's reputation for stability is kind of broken; i can imagine users who have their own additions to the tx fonts (for instance i know of people who have old style instances on their machines) and those will use the tx enc files; i see no problems in a few dupplicate files; (btw, similar things happened with the texnansi encoding, changes in hyphen chars, different enc files etc)
Hans
ps. a complication is that tx/px are kind of unmaintained; i started supporting them when they were posted on ctan, after that, each distribution (tlive) needed a different treatment, so i was kind of glad that there was finally some stability;
