I am not embedding any font.
I am using "Helvetica", "winasi" font with a font size of "8".
Doesn't this font contain the Euro symbol character?

Should this font be present on the server-side (where pdf is generated) or
the client side (where the pdf is viewed in an Acrobat reader/plugin)?
The reason why i am asking this question is, If i use my machine as the
server, i could see the euro character from reader on mychine and if i use
some other machine as server, i couldn't see the euro character. In both the
cases, the client is the reader on my machine.

Any suggestion to overcome this problem?

Thanks,
Vasu

If you are not embedding the font then Acrobat uses the available font in
the system or if this font is not available uses the built-in font. One of
the fonts used does not contain the Euro character.
