Eurofont 4.01 business demo version

Dear Madam and sirs,

Eurofont was created as a real world solution to the introduction of the European Monetary Unit known as the 'Euro.'  The software package updates current computer configurations to be able to display and print the 'Euro' currency symbol.
While other solutions exist, they do not address the problem fully.


Description:
Eurofont is the only software solution on the market that responds in full to the technical challenges posed by the introduction of the new 'Euro' currency symbol.  It upgrades any windows PC( Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT), regardless of hardware or software configurations, allowing the user to type, view, print, and work with documents containing the new 'Euro' symbol in all applications.


Installation:
Please close all applications and start installation.  After completion of the
installation you will called to restart the computer.
Now your can use the new currency-symbol with the Keyboard-combinations [AltGr+1], [AltGr+4] or
[AltGr +e]  like a completely normal letter.  
The new Euro-Fonts (e.g. Arial Euro, Times New Roman Euro..) are contained in your fonts directory. 
All functions for the formatting of the text like bold, italic, underlined and so on are supported.

The shifting of the currency to Euro for your speadsheet programm is made by
(Start / System / Regional Settings / Currency).

For Win 3.x at Accessory / System / Regional Settings.


Eurofont is not the only software solution available for computer users needing to work with the Euro symbol.  It is, however, the most complete.  

Microsoft's free font upgrade is probably the only other legitimate solution worth investigating. While it is available for everyone free of cost, you will see in the text below that it hardly covers all the problems posed to those who need to work with the Euro.

Compatability:
Windows98 and Windows NT 5 will be shipped with the Euro symbol incorporated into its fonts, and upgrades are available to anyone who wants to install them on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4 systems.  However, Microsoft has made it clear that they do not intend to provide a solution for Windows 3.1x, or DOS users.  Eurofont is available for all platforms.

Fonts:
Microsoft's upgrade updates the main Monotype font sets (Times New Roman, Courier, Arial, and Comic) but does not add the Euro currency symbol to the system fonts.  Eurofont upgrades the main Monotype font sets AND all the system fonts, permitting the user to work with the symbol in eg. notepad, and Windows system areas.

Keyboard:
Eurofont updates your keyboard drivers and gives you three different and easy to remember key combinations to insert the Euro symbol in your work (AltGr+1, AltGr+4 and AltGr+e).

Printer:
Unless you have a brand new Postscript 3 compatible printer or are working in Microsoft Word97 you will not be able to print the Euro symbol with the Microsoft upgrades.  The reason being that the printer simply does not "know" the symbol (microsoft Word97 will send that single character as a bitmap that the printer can handle). With Eurofont you can print no matter what printer or application you are using (no new printer or eprom is necessarily).


Furthermore a sticker with the Euro-symbol for your keyboard is contained - no new keyboard to buy.
