Has anyone created a style file or fonts necessary to produce the symbols associated with currencies (see, I really am an economist!)? I know how to get the symbol for the U.S. dollar and British pounds sterling, but is there a style out there (or fonts maybe?) which does the proper kerning exercises to create, say, the symbol for the Japanese yen, French franc, etc. (or have I overlooked something really simple)? If so, I (and our departmental secretary) would be eternally grateful if you could point me to it/them.

But note that the default \pounds definition of LaTeX as given in lfonts.tex is wrong. First, the font cmu10 should be used instead of cmti10 (to get an upright symbol, not an italic one). Second, in the math part of the definition a blank is missing after the number "424. (try $\pounds1$). -- Joachim =========================================================================== Joachim Schrod Email: xitijsch@ddathd21.bitnet DANTE e.V. Coordinator for Drivers/ILaTeX

Isn't the French franc symbol just an uppercase roman F? For Dutch guilder, I think a lowercase italic f is suitable (florin). --dave David Osborne -- David Osborne
