eurofont	Provides a command that prints a euro symbol.
	The particular symbol printed by \euro will in general change depending on the font family, weight, and shape in use at the time. This symbol can come from any source, and the package user has complete control over which euro symbol is used in any given situation. The package is pre-configured to behave sensibly with many common text fonts and available euro symbols. The \euro command can print `faked' euro symbols from a C with two lines across it when no suitable real euro symbol is available; the package also includes code for printing fake bold euro symbols for use when no real bold symbol exists, as well as pre-configured support for a faked italic version of the marvosym font. Eurofont comes set up to use euro symbols from Adobe's Eurofonts, the marvosym font, the Eurosym font, and any available Text Companion fonts. The selection between these can be done using options passed to the package. The eurofont package knows about the China2e font's euro symbol, and can be configured to use it. See also eurosym marvosym
		license: unknown version: 1.1.3 (1999/03/03)

europs	No caption.

The actual symbol they produce depends on the currently active font, i.e., they follow font changes caused by \text.. and other NFSS commands. The actual fonts are not included as they have to be fetched from Adobe's web or ftp server. See also eurosym marvosym
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

eurosans	Interface to Adobe's free Euro fonts.
	Provides a convenient interface for using the free Adobe Euro fonts in (PostScript) format. Loading the package defines a new command \euro which typesets a Euro symbol. The symbol is always taken from the `EuroSans' family, with the weight (medium or boldface) and shape (normal or oblique) varying according to the font currently selected. This Euro symbol meets the official design and matches almost any font family very well, except for typewriter fonts.
		license: lppl version: 1.0 (1999/05/13)

eurosym	No caption.
	The new European currency symbol for the ``Euro'' implemented in Metafont, using the official European Commission dimensions, and providing several shapes (normal, slanted, bold, outline).
