TOPIC

    This article describes a minor issue with the installer for ClarisWorks 5.0, when installing on machines using Mac OS 8.5 or newer.


DISCUSSION

    Starting with Mac OS 8.5, the included Apple fonts were updated to include the European currency symbol, called the "euro.".

    When installing ClarisWorks 5.0 on Mac OS 8.5 and later, the installer replaces the Symbol font with an older version. This older version does not include the euro symbol. Other fonts are not affected.

    The AppleWorks 5.0.3 installer does not install an older version of the Symbol font.

    To resolve this issue, you can do a Customized Install of the Symbol font from the Mac OS Install application to update to the newer font.

    As a workaround, use another Apple-installed font that supports the euro symbol, such as Helvetica or Times.

    For information regarding the euro currency symbol and which Apple fonts support it, see:
