It is very likely that Konstantinos has a more recent version locally
installed. See below.

What EC and Cork encoding is exactly is quite tricky (see discussion on
tex-fonts some months ago). However, I think the relevant thing is that
the tfm files for lmodern got renamed at some point from
'cork-lmr10.tfm' to 'ec-lmr10.tfm' etc. The current lmodern package is
identical to what's in teTeX 3.0, and i am pretty sure that teTeX 3.0 is
'self consistent', ie, the tfm files in teTeX 3.0 are those needed by
ConTeXt as it is in teTeX 3.0.
This gives us a big problem with the lmodern package. I don't know how
we could update lmodern without updating ConTeXt in the teTeX tree. I am
pretty sure, that current lmodern will *not work* with the ConTeXt in
teTeX 3.0. :-(

Actually, the ConTeXt version of Konstantinos is more recent than teTeX 3.0!
