euro font substitution
The euro has been in business for ten years now. It is now part of every
professional font, including a hundred or two installed on my system. Today Publisher 2003 tells me it is not part of the Arial font (!) and that I should indicate a substitute. But Publisher rejects all proposals and leaves me with the wretched Times Roman version. Could someone tell me what's up and how to fix it?

euro font substitution
The euro symbol works for me in Arial and Publisher 2003... Hold alt+0128. Did
you open Insert Symbol, scroll down to currency symbols?

euro font substitution
Throughout those ten years I've had € staring up at me from the keyboard. No
problem typing the character. What I object to is having to choose some other font when the euro is present in the font I have installed and wish to use. As it happens, Arial Unicode *is* accepted by Publisher as a substitute, and as it happens, Arial was the exotic font I was using. But it wouldn't do me much good if my composition were, say, Rockwell or Ravie... "Mary Sauer" wrote: The euro symbol works for me in Arial and Publisher 2003... Hold alt+0128.

euro font substitution
If your composition were Ravie or Rockwell and you inserted the euro symbol it
would be the Times New Roman symbol; not Arial Unicode. It would be same for any font that does not have the full set of symbols. Look here at the Ravie font, http://www.fonts.com/FindFonts/detail.htm?pid=409439 And Rockwell http://www.fonts.com/FindFonts/Detai...&S COPE=Fonts -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "EdT" wrote in message ...

euro font substitution
It appears the ? symbol is available in any font by using the Character Map,
"Group by:" Unicode Subrange, Group By window pops open listing several options including Currency and if same is chosen, it displays $ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ? ? ? ? ? ? Somewhat cumbersome, but doable. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ... The euro symbol works for me in Arial and Publisher 2003... Hold alt+0128.

Try looking at the Font Embedding options and checking whether that's got turned on somehow.
