-<h3>Typesetting the Euro sign</h3>
-<p/>The European currency &#8220;Euro&#8221; (&#8364;) is represented by a symbol
-of somewhat dubious design, but it&#8217;s an important currency and
-(La)TeX users need to typeset it.
-<p/>Note that the Commission of the European Community at first deemed
-that the Euro symbol should always be set in a sans-serif font;
-fortunately, this eccentric ruling has now been rescinded, and one may
-apply best typesetting efforts to making it appear at least slightly
-&#8220;respectable&#8221; (typographically).
-<p/>The TS1-encoded TC fonts provided as part of the EC font
-distribution provide Euro glyphs. The fonts are called Text Companion
-(TC) fonts, and offer the same range
-of faces as do the EC fonts themselves. The
-<i>textcomp</i> package provides a <code>\</code><code>texteuro</code> command for
-accessing the symbol, which selects a symbol to match the surrounding
-text. The design of the symbol in the TC fonts is not
-universally loved&#8230;
-Nevertheless, use the TC font version of the symbol if you are
-producing documents using Knuth&#8217;s Computer Modern Fonts.
-<p/>The each of the <i>latin9</i> and <i>latin10</i> input encoding
-definitions for the <i>inputenc</i> package has a euro character
-defined (character position 164, occupied in other ISO Latin
-character sets by the &#8220;currency symbol&#8221; &#164;, which
-ordinary people seldom see except in character-set listings&#8230;).
-The TC encoding file offers the command <code>\</code><code>texteuro</code> for the
-character; that command is (probably) <em>only</em> available from the
-<i>textcomp</i> package.
-<p/>Use of the TC encoding character may therefore made via
-<code>\</code><code>texteuro</code> or via the Latin-9 or Latin-10 character in ordinary
-text.
-<p/>Note that there is a Microsoft code page position (128), too, and that has
-been added to <i>inputenc</i> tables for CP1252 and
-CP1257. (There&#8217;s another position in CP858, which has
-it in place of &#8220;dotless i&#8221; in CP850; the standardisation of
-these things remains within Microsoft, so one can never tell what will
-come next&#8230;)
-<p/>Outline fonts which contain nothing but Euro symbols are available
-(free) from
-<a href="ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe">Adobe</a> &#8212;
-the file is packaged as a <i>Windows</i> self-extracting
-executable, but it may be decoded as a <code>.zip</code> format archive
-on other operating systems.
-The <i>euro</i> bundle contains metrics, <i>dvips</i> map
-files, and macros (for Plain TeX and LaTeX), for using these
-fonts in documents. LaTeX users will find two packages in the
-bundle: <i>eurosans</i> only offers the sans-serif version (to
-conform with the obsolete ruling about sans-serif-only symbols; the
-package provides the
-command <code>\</code><code>euro</code>), whereas <i>europs</i> matches the Euro symbol
-with the surrounding text (providing the command <code>\</code><code>EUR</code>). To use
-either package
-with the <i>latin9</i> encoding, you need to define <code>\</code><code>texteuro</code>
-as an alias for the euro command the package defines.
-<p/>The Adobe fonts are probably the best bet for use in non-Computer
-Modern environments. They are apparently designed to fit with Adobe
-Times, Helvetica and Courier, but can probably fit with a wider range
-of modern fonts.
-<p/>The <i>eurofont</i> package provides a compendious analysis of the
-&#8220;problem of the euro symbol&#8221; in its documentation, and offers macros
-for configuring the source of the glyphs to be used; however, it seems
-rather large for everyday use.
-<p/>The <i>euro-ce</i> bundle is a rather pleasing Metafont-only design
-providing Euro symbols in a number of shapes. The file
-<i>euro-ce.tex</i>, in the distribution, offers hints as to how a
-Plain TeX user might make use of the fonts.
-<p/>Euro symbols are found in several other places, which we list here for
-completeness.
-<p/>The <i>marvosym</i> fonts contain a Euro symbol among many other
-good things.
-
-
-

-
-<p/>Other Metafont-based bundles containing Euro symbols are to be found in
-<i>china2e</i> (whose primary aim is Chinese dates and suchlike
-matters) and the <i>eurosym</i> fonts.
