In apaginated report if it mentions the euro sign, the rendering works fine for all the formats (docx, xlsx, ..) except for the PDF.
In PDF format the euro sign renders as a questionmark '?'. I've tried numerous combinations: Fonts, sizes, calling either Chr(128) or ChrW(8364). Still getting no luck.
