Marvosym comes with my TeX Live LaTeX distro and used to come with teTeX AFAIR. I had the impression the package was rather widely used but I maybe wrong. >> ("EURdig" . "€") >> ("EURhv" .

While \EUR becomes the `official' euro symbol, \EURdig is a variant of that with the same width as digits, \EURhv is a euro symbol that fits to Helvetica, \EURcr dto. to Courier and \EURtm dto. to Times. This makes a difference in LaTeX but is all the same in HTML: €. Anyway, adding those symbols is not strictly necessary since everybody can use the eurosym package (where \euro{} command comes from). I like the Marvosym package better but I can also stick to what I currently do: #+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\euro}{\EUR} Ulf
