Good observation. I think for backward compatibility. Otherwise we don't know what was the old default. Suppose that a user unchecked that preference, meaning that no fontenc is loaded. If we miss this info, we should convert an old [Default] to T1 (the old default), thus screwing up old documents. The same if instead that was changed to OT1, for example. OTOH, that global preference is dangerous, because if someone sends you a document expecting a given fontenc (achieved by the sender by changing this pref) and you have a different default, everything may screw up. So, having this as a globlal preference is not ideal, apparently. -- Enrico
