       You missed my point: with the fix I indicated, the fonts work
       regardless of whether the MS patch is installed or not.

       point to the euro glyph.

       A cleaner way would be to install the new CP1252 -> Unicode
       converter, which I thought was part of the euro package
       available from MS. If people only install the fonts (without
       the converter) they won't get the euro to work with CP1252.
