Hi,
We have Arbortext Editor 5.3 M061 for Windows based customized product as client application and E3 is installed in the Solaris 10 as server application. XML documents created in Arbortext Editor 5.3 M061 based customized product are converted to PDF using web form which internally calls E3.
It is possible to insert Euro symbol in the XML document using "Insert -> Symbol" and Euro symbol properly appears in the XML document in the editor, but this symbol is missing when the document is converted to PDF using E3.
If any one of you has already worked in E3 and resolved such problem, it will be of great help if you canprovide input to resolve this issue. It is not the issue with Euro symbol only, but there are certain few more symbols which are not appearing in the PDF output. Whether we need to do any symbol related changes in the E3 setup to make sure that Euro symbol appears properly in the PDF output?
Best Regards,

Hi,
Thank you for providing this input.
I am just trying to figure out the exact problem in our E3 setup environment. One thing I noticed that our Solaris 10 server in which E3 is installed is configured with locale as "en_US.ISO8859-15". I think, this locale does not support EURO symbol (reference: http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/wp-eurocurrency/). Could you please confirm? If this is the case, then we need to make sure that Solaris 10 server is configured with proper locale which supports EURO symbol.
Secondly, there is following configuration in the lib/charent.cf for euro in E3 setup:
unixonly:
# currency symbols
europs_symbol160unicode0x20ACpsa ":\g128|"
Do you feel any change is required in charent.cf regarding this? I could not understand where and how we can use msarial_char element in the E3 setup.

Hi Paul Nagai,
It seems your Puiblishihng Engine (E3) is installed in Windows environment. But in our case, it is installed in Solaris 10 environment where MS Arial font is not at all supported.
I found that Euro symbol is supported by locale en_US.ISO8859-15@eurowhich is installed in our Solaris 10 server. I am trying to setlocale to point to this locale while starting E3 and lets see the result.

Hi,
I tried setting the locale to <u>en_US.ISO8859-15@euro</u>in E3 startup script in Solaris, but it is not helpful. Could you please suggest how this problem can be fixed in E3 which is installed in Solaris 10.
Best Regards,
