Status of Euro in ConTeXt?

Status of Euro in ConTeXt?

[Frans Goddijn]

Hello,

on http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context.html I have searched for
the current status of the Euro sign for ConTeXt users but it seems there's
no simple non-guru euro-for-dummies trick out yet. Am I right?

The reason I ask is the commercial font setup that I had with over 100
different Euro signs for different font families doesn't work anymore and
until I (or Taco) get that running I'd like to revert to the generic Euro
symbol, if there was one...

PS: http://www.pragma-pod.com/ seems offline/gone, is that right?

Groet,

Frans

see symb-eur.tex and/or the other symb files for an example of how to 
define your own euro font setup;

\definesymbol[euro][\getglyph{FransFont}{\char123}]

is about the shortest def you can use. [in the symb files you can also see 
how to define symbols that adapt themselves to styles and so; size adaption 
is automatic.

[apart from the euro symbol being ugly, the money is ugly too, so don't ask 
me how to define them in MP]

we're currently transfering the domains which is a slow and painful process 
(so far for the internet); use

www.pragma-pod.nl

instead
