You are using the wrong OS and fonts. :-( On Win2k the Euro sign is mapped to character code 128 (0x80). But according to the ANSI / ISO 8559 standard this character is a non-printable control character. The standards compliant solution is to use an ISO 8559-15 font (similar with 8559-1 with the single exception that the general currency symbol at character code 164 (0x164) is now replaced by the Euro symbol). This way is also compliant with the Unicode standard. Sadly, Microsoft again uses a proprietary approach. :-[ Sorry, I don't know how to actually solve your problem. Try using an ISO 8559-15 font and use character code 164 instead of 128 and see if this solves your problem. Maybe just switsching to character code 164 will...
