Even opera opera-11.61-1250.x86_64 renders in f17 the euro sign correctly, without any modification of the opera preferences. I cannot reproduce it with firefox-10.0.1-1.fc16.x86_64. It may be related to f17 only. Do you have some third party fonts installed (for example from rpmfusion)?

Additionally, I copied some fonts from my windows7 box and from some free accessible sources. See attachment!

All fonts in /usr/share/fonts
All other fonts (including the already described ones).
Having the same problem with an Centos machine (where I'm a normal user, no admin), OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga). There the Euro sign is rendered wrong too, exactly as on my F17 box. If I look a into into the HTML source for this bug (803788) report by firefox->web developer->view page source, I see that the EURO sign in the subject line not coded as €, but directly as €, and here I see it correctly with the same firefox having problems with the website I specified above! Could you attach a screenshot of wrongly rendered euro symbol and let us know which font is choosed in Preferences/Content/Default font and Preferences/Content/Fonts & colours/Advanced? You may also test if new profile is working fine by running firefox with -ProfileManager and try to create a new profile.

Creating a new profile will render the EURO symbol similar to my standard profile; useless! Created attachment 571737 [details]
correctly rendered euro
You seems to have slightly different font installed as default. Compare marked J letter. Try to temporary remove ttf fonts from windows 7 you've installed. You may also try to change Preferences/Content/Default font to something else, like Dejavu sans.
Testing all optionen you mentioned, but without any success. But: If I go to "http://www.studierendenwerk-kaiserslautern.de/kaiserslautern/essen-und-trinken/tu-kaiserslautern/mensa/" and see that there are infos with the directly coded EURO sign *and* it the EURO *is rendered correctly*, then I'm totally confused! Why this page is rendered correctly? Now that's your turn :-) It's because text is using different fonts: http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/serverdienste/virtuell: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif http://www.studierendenwerk-kaiserslautern.de/kaiserslautern/essen-und-trinken/tu-kaiserslautern/mensa/ Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif See css styles for both pages. My Tahoma looks different than font on your screenshots, I don't have Geneva installed (probably Win font). I suggest to remove Tahoma and Geneva fonts from your system (if they come from Windows). After removing them use 'fc-cache -f -v' as root to rebuild font cache.

Description of problem: I tried to display a WEB page containing the EURO sign ("€") directly in the source code and not by the HTML coding "€". But if displaying that page, the € is displayed as the sun symbol and not as EURO. Searching the € on that page with Firefox -> find... hits all locations with that wrongly displayed EURO sign. The page I have that problems with is: http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/serverdienste/virtuell Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-10.0.1-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.firefox http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/serverdienste/virtuell 2. 3. Actual results: EURO is not correctly displayed Expected results: Additional info: 1. I'm not the author of that page 2. konqueror shows the page correctly 3. $LANG = en_US.utf8 4. Trying the same in UBUNTU-10.04 displays the page correctly with firefox
