It sounds as if the X font used by gxditview(1) for troff's font TR
doesn't have the Euro currency symbol.
Certainly,
    xfd -fn '-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
doesn't display it here.

gxditview has the option to change the font used, but I don't know if
it's possible to find one it would be happy with.  Something like this
perhaps, though it doesn't work:

    printf a€b\\n | groff -k -me -X -P-xrm -P'"
    TR -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
    "'

I think most of us produce PostScript or PDF and view that rather than
groff's -X.  You may have more success with that method.

Cheers, Ralph.
