Euro Support

Hi,

I am having a problem with the Euro symbol (\u20ac).
FOP complains abaout the character.
Does anybody know a bugfix or workaround.

Thanks,
Vincenz Braun

P.S. I do not have access to the mailing list. Please

A short while ago, when I submitted type 1 font support, I also updated
charlist.xml in the codegen directory adding the Euro character. I
managed to display it in one of my PDFs. If you don't have the latest
CVS-sources you can try patching the charlist.xml file adding the entry
below. Do a full recompilation afterwards.

<map adobe-name="Euro" win-ansi="0x0080" unicode="0x20AC" /> 

The character widths for the Euro character in the base 14 fonts
(Helvetica, Times...) are still missing in the font XML files. It should
work anyway (more or less). I'm going to look up the character widths
for those fonts and submit them to the list so a committer can update
the files. Font files created using the new PFMReader tool should create
the entry needed for the Euro character if applicable.

I hope this helps.
