DISPLAYING AND PRINTING THE EURO SYMBOL

Generating the supported euro symbol is a separate issue.

If your computer keyboard does not have a euro key, you can access the symbol in the supported fonts (see the previous TechMail or the link below) with the following key sequence.

For US keyboards, press [Alt]0128 (hold the [Alt] key down, type 0128 on the number pad of the keyboard and then release the [Alt] key).

For UK keyboards, use the key combination above or press [AltGr]4.

For more information, including additional language support, take a look at Microsoft's euro FAQ.

Many printers use resident fonts that do not include the euro symbol. To prompt the printer to use TrueType fonts that contain the euro sign, follow the instructions below.

Click on Start | Settings | Printers.

Highlight the required printer.

3. From the File menu, select Properties.

4. Select the Fonts tab, and then select the Always Use TT Fonts option.

5. OK your changes.

Certain Windows 95 applications will not support the euro symbol without being specifically updated. For example, Notepad in Windows 95 will not display the euro sign, as it uses a font that does not support the symbol. Updating the Notepad default font will solve this issue. Versions of Internet Explorer prior to IE 4.01 Service Pack 1 are not fully euro-compliant and may have some difficulty displaying the symbol. IE can be freely upgraded from the Microsoft Web site.
