Displaying the euro on your computer
When you perform a HotSync operation, the euro symbol is transferred to Palm
Desktop software like any other piece of data on your handheld. The symbol
appears in Palm Desktop software, however, only if you are using fonts that
support the euro symbol.
These fonts are part of the operating system on your computer. They do not reside
with your Desktop application, and they are not produced by Palm, Inc. For more
information, refer to the documentation that accompanies your desktop
computer’s operating system.
Printing the euro
Even with operating system support, problems may arise when you print
documents that contain the euro. When a particular font is present on both the
printer and the computer, the printer’s version of the font is used by default to
increase printing speed. If the printer font does not include the euro, a box is
printed instead of the euro symbol.
You can work around this problem by transferring the Expense data to another
application and inserting a bitmap image of the euro into the document in the
appropriate places, or by not using the printer’s built-in fonts (if allowed).
