Yes I did...I don't understand it either. The sign is visible in a static textfield but it disappears in a dynamic one whatever I do. I solved it by applying another textformat each time a euro sign is present. Applying multiple textformats just for this isn't that nice but at least it's something... Thanks for the advise though, appreciate it!
