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.
