I got started by looking at symb-eur.tex. I'll look further for a better
approach.

Sorry. I don't know what exactly you mean by that. Do you mean manually
setting the math roman(?) font to eurm10?

Is this a necessity? I'd prefer my text font's numerals in text, and the
math numerals in formulae.

It's a nice font. I found it matched with Charter really well, and after
that, found that other people on the net seem to agree with me.

I had followed up this email with the attached minimal test. It doesn't
give the glyphs I expect. I've tried all sorts of combinations to try to
trigger the math symbols in math-eul, but I don't get any closer than this.

Cheers,
