Another approach is to use the Unicode code point € in one of the fonts which have an Euro symbol glyph (does not work if font-family is set to Symbol). FOP knows how to map this onto the character set specific code point. HTH J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you use embedded fonts, this should not be a problem (unicode value is looked up in cmap), if you use the standard fonts (Helvetica, Times, etc) this might be a problem. If I remember correctly, a patch was submitted that added the euro sign to the standard fonts. It exists in the cvs version (in the fop-0.20.2-maintain branch).

I have just solved the problem as I tried using Acrobat 4.0 instead of my old Acrobat 3.0 (unfortunately, it was my default). Acrobat version 3.0 does not support the euro (and the font was not embedded). Patrick

I believe ISO-8859-15 fonts, if they exist, are (or should be) only fonts with Unicode cmap restricted to the ISO-8859-15 subset of characters.BTW the euro, is not the only difference between ISO-LATIN-1 and LATIN-9 (8859-15) : see my page (auf Französisch, aber ist das ein Problem?)it also adds some Finish accented forms and one capital that missed in French (Y¨ = Ÿ, as in L'HAŸ-LES-ROSES a town close to Paris).> Sorry, I don't know how to actually solve your problem.

You are using the wrong OS and fonts. :-( On Win2k the Euro sign is mapped to character code 128 (0x80). But according to the ANSI / ISO 8559 standard this character is a non-printable control character. The standards compliant solution is to use an ISO 8559-15 font (similar with 8559-1 with the single exception that the general currency symbol at character code 164 (0x164) is now replaced by the Euro symbol). This way is also compliant with the Unicode standard. Sadly, Microsoft again uses a proprietary approach. :-[ Sorry, I don't know how to actually solve your problem. Try using an ISO 8559-15 font and use character code 164 instead of 128 and see if this solves your problem. Maybe just switsching to character code 164 will...
