No, this can't be printed in ISO 8859-15! Although my printer has  
PostScript 3 and is younger than the European currency unit it only  
knows Adobe-StandardEncoding, Adobe-SymbolEncoding, Adobe-CEEncoding,  
and probably too ISOLatin1Encoding and Adobe-ExpertEncoding. To print  
the ISO Latin-9 glyphs from the above mentioned range the font needs to  
be encoded correctly.

I think it's able to print in all ten ISO Latin scripts.
