And there, it is 0x20AC...even on Win2k (I just checked Arial > in Fontlab). I did a simple test: create a text file with just one Euro sign in Win2k, then booted into Red Hat Linux 7.2 (dual boot box) and checked what the text file actually contained. It was one single character #128. I found out about 8859-15 whike trying to get the euro symbol in Linux. > How are the characters accessed by FOP, through the cmap?

Hmmm... maybe if you use a real Unicode font with the Euro character in the right place... Sadly I don't know much about fonts, but I'm trying to learn... pointers to more information in English or German are appreciated!
