SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you view the Euro currency symbol in Microsoft Money, you do not see
the expected Euro symbol. Instead, you may see a square block or a cedilla
character. (This looks like a C with a comma underneath it).

properly.

The Tahoma font installed by Money does not contain the Euro symbol for
Windows 95 or Windows NT systems.

Money 99.
