Euro font questions

Euro font questions

[Rob van Swol]

Hi,

I would like to see that the Euro symbol also changes with style, i.e
Italic or bold. The follwing works (using the Adobe files) to get the
'sans symbol'

\definefontsynonym[EuroSans][rzpeurs]
\definefontsynonym[EuroSansBold][rzpeubs]
\definefontsynonym[EuroSansItalic][rzpeuris]
\definefontsynonym[EuroSansBoldItalic][rzpeubis]
\definesymbol[euro][\getglyph{EuroSans-Regular}{\char160}]
\def\euro{\symbol[euro]}

It is clear that I only get EuroSans; from reading the manual I
understood that I can use 'Euro' to get all mappings However, when I try
to use 

\definesymbol[euro][\getglyph{Euro}{\char160}]

I get a message file Euro not found!

Finally, would it be possible to replace the glyph 160 permanently with
the Euro symbol, so that when I type a the ASCII character coding 160 I
get the Euro symbol.?

Regards,
Rob

do you use the symbol lib symb-eur? \usesymbols[eur]

you need to have the adobe euro fonts on your system and properly named 
(they have stupid names like 1___ and so, and they may not be 
redistributed, so some handy work is needed here)

that is real tricky, and depends on the availability of the symbol in the font

(the encoding files have euro already defined, so \euro is a valid symbol)

Hans,

I followed your sugeestion and everything is fine now. However, there
was (and still is) a typo in original-adobe-euro.map:

there is a line:
eurosabi <eurosebi.pfb
               ^

this should be:
eurosabi <eurosabi.pfb
               ^

Regards,
Rob
