Tommy; RE:" Euro Glyph "

>I want to know who the dude is going to be that places the new euro symbol on our keyboards & printers...

from Sunday, 03-JAN New York Times...

on Windows keyboards sold in Europe, the right-hand "alt" key and the "e" key struck together will make the euro symbol.

in America, at least for now, users will have to to depress the "alt" key and type "0128" on the numeric keypad; and that's only if the computer's type fonts are of recent-enough vintage -- the last few months or so -- to include the symbol.

Microsoft decided that the symbol should take on the look of whichever type font is in use when it is typed; but Apple think its look should never vary.

typewriter users should fake it; recommending a capital "C" overstruck with an "=" equal sign.
