-There is another problem with the euro symbol : it is not included in the
- latin1 character encoding.
- So to have the glyph displayed on screen you should select iso8859-15 screen
- fonts.
+The shape of the symbol in the printed version tends to be better when you
+ install the eurosym package too.
+ It is available at
+\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/fonts/eurosym}
+
+\end_inset
+
+ in the CTAN.
+ Then you declare eurofont with the
+\family typewriter
+eurosym
+\family default

+\family typewriter

+usepackage[eurosym]{eurofont}

+As a next step, we'll configure LyX to display a WYSIWYM euro symbol.
+ First you have to select latin9 screen fonts, as the euro is not in the
