The Euro symbol

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Sarah,

€, £ and $ on Win: 128, 163, 36
€, £ and $ on Mac: 219, 163, 36

Probably can you test the platform and use 128 or 219 according to it?
Money apps are a pain...
The problem will not be solved ;-)
For instance:
$10.50 (English) and 10,50 € (French)
The best way should probably to get the current money format from the  
system (International/Formats on Mac OS and... on Win)
I wonder if this kind of issue has not been treated yet on the list  
two years ago.
