    Hewlet Packard www.hp.com had a font download where you put a font on the letter "E" (or was it "e"?) that turned it into a euro symbol. I'm not sure if it is still there.

    Gah! *slap*

    Use the assigned character instead of custom fonts.

    ALT + 0128 (numeric keyboard) on W2K = €

    In Unicode the symbol should be U+20AC (I think)

    1.Could check ur regional settings if its set to US it won't work.

    2.Ur printer isn't capable... yet there may be an upgrade.

    You may have to specify the fonts to print as bitmaps on some printers. It slows the printer down but works.

    Win95 needs a patch applied.

    The Microsoft website is actually very good for Euro info.

    Have a look at these links:

    You should always encode such characters in HTML/xHTML. For the Euro symbol you can encode it as € or €. You can use € too, but this won't work in all browsers.
