Hi,
Some time ago Tobias, Taco and I discussed the euro symbol. Lucky us,
adobe released some fonts containing this symbol. Unlucky us, they are
12 fonts, each with one symbol (serif, sans, mono) * (regular, bold,
italic, bolditalic).
Out of efficiency reasons, we cannot use a dedicated family for this
symbol, but I extended the symbol definition mechanism to deal with
this. This means that the next (major) release will offer
\euro
which adapts to style (rm,ss,tt) and alternative (tf,bf,it,sl,bi,bs) and
size as well.
This leaves the problem of distributing the fonts. I renamed the funny
_2bi_____.pdf etc names to something more useful.
I'm thinking of setting up a seperate font directory with fonts in the
right encodings (although many can be used, we only advocate the best).
I guess Taco has his ideas on this.
Hans
