      Provides a convenient interface for using the free Adobe Type 1
      PostScript Euro fonts. Loading the package defines a new command
      \euro which typesets a Euro symbol. The symbol is always taken
      from the `EuroSans' family, with the weight (medium or boldface)
      and shape (normal or oblique) varying according to the font
      currently selected. This Euro symbol meets the official design
      and matches almost any font family very well, except for
      typewriter fonts. The fonts comply with the `Karl Berry' scheme
      and do the same job as the <xref refid="europs">europs</xref>
      fonts, although the TFM files differe slightly, probably because
      of different translation programs.
