I clearly have some misunderstanding about the typesetting of the euro sign.
In an attempt to implement the MathTimes font and expert fontset, I came across a problem with typesetting the euro.
I could not redefine the \texteuro. In \showcharacters it stays empty. Doing \definecharacter texteuro to_some_value in a typescript does not work (giving: Runaway argument?)
has to do with \definecharacter being space delimited and typescripts being space ignorant you define characters in an encoding vector, so \startencoding[whatever] \definecharacter .... \stopencoding which you can do anyplace
The euro does appear when I define it explicitely (as coming from the marvosym font): \def\euro{\symbol[europe][EUR]} But then \texteuro is still unaffected and therefore doing "\enableregime[mac] � (euro)" does not work.
i don't know if there is an euro in math times
Any pointer how to solve this?
this is one of the unfortunate trial and error situations (depends on the font) Hans
