Not what I am seeing. Can you send a screenshot so we can be
sure we are talking about exactly the same thing ?

In any case this is just data coming from the database. It
sounds like Windows cannot cope with the Euro symbol ? Sure,
that's been in use for only about a decode, I admit.

OTOH, one can just change the data to say EUR instead of the
proper currency symbol (this functionality is a must anyways
since not everyone does financial transactions in Euro).
