Summary0014583: Euro-sign (€) showing as squares or diamond shape in PDF forms
DescriptionI have read i-don't-know-how-many websites about this topic. This seems to be an issue with the way the fonts are encoded.
In the font-previewer window the euro-sign shows fine in all the fonts.

After it is exported to PDF the euro-signs show as squares -when € is placed via keyboard-shortcut- or as diamonds -when € is placed via alt-code-.
I have also used the symbol-option to place it in there.

When the PDF is opened in Google Chrome, the euro-sign is visible (in a different font then the rest of the text) but as soon as you shift focus to another field, it disappears altogether.

Attached is a test-file and a test-pdf.

Confirmed (but no squares, just nothing here)
It hasn't to do anything with the font.
I tried it with different fonts and qpdfviewer and okular.
The € is missing, ¢ and @ are there. (Also tried ŧ - visible)
