    <abstract>
      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 <xref refid="marvosym">marvosym</xref> font. Eurofont
      comes set up to use euro symbols from Adobe's Eurofonts,
      the <xref refid="marvosym">marvosym</xref> font, the <xref
      refid="eurosym">Eurosym</xref> 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.
