Oh, sorry, Peter. Yes, we initially develop for Macintosh Type
1, then do conversions for other platforms/formats once fonts
are finalized. In MacRoman, the Euro goes in Dec 219. That slot
doesn't seem to be available in Cyrillics.
If you have this information, great. If not, I'll dig around
some more. Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate your
help!
Have a good weekend.
Thanks, Tamye
