Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-10-01 15:42:35 UTC

The error messages there are accurate, those fonts don't support 
ISO-8859-15 (no euro symbol). I'm not sure there's a lot we can do about it,
other than become fontographers... does Gnumeric still start up and use some
fallback font?

Comment 2 Petri T. Koistinen 2002-10-01 15:55:05 UTC

Yes, it will start and it uses fallback font.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-10-01 16:07:03 UTC

Yeah, this is quite hard to fix, and only cosmetic. It will naturally go away
when we move to the GTK2-based Gnumeric with the new sane font setup.

Thanks

Comment 4 Petri T. Koistinen 2002-10-01 16:14:56 UTC

Would you call it cosmetic problem if dollar sign would be missing? ;-)
Ok, I'll wait, I don't have that much euros anyway. ;-)
