ACTION:

- Use the field type Currency with the Euro sign
- Zoom in (e.g. 75%)
RESULT:
Instead of showing the Euro symbol, a vertical block is shown.
(Currencies with e.g. Pound and Dollar don't have this problem)

This link

shows the fixes for 97, 2000 & 2003. Great. I've just found out the problem
still exists in Office 12. You'd think they'd at least fix the problems for
the newer versions.

Wouldn't it be easier for Microsoft and everyone else if they just added the euro character to Small Fonts?
