I got the big zipfile from http://www.linmpi.mpg.de/english/services/software/latex/localtex/zipped/eur osymbol.zip and there's a whole bunch of files in there. Quite confusing to start with but not surprising as there are several Euro packages shrinkwrapped into one bag. The AFM/PFB files need to be retrieved from yet another address: www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html One of the packages is more purist and provides the sans serif Eurosign which still changes along to its environment into normal, bold and (bold-)italic like it should. The other one (europs.sty also morphs into a serif symbol, a typewriter symbol et cetera which I like better. A while ago I recall there was some discussion about the possible ways someone could maybe develop a Euro solution for ConTeXt. I wonder: is this simple to implement in ConTeXt today (for the clever guys out here) since these Adobe files are there up for grabs anyway? Groet, Frans
