Umm, 'standard' is difficult. They are defined in some of teh standard 
encodings, yes.

Ah, so you are using the ISOLatin1Encoding, that makes a difference.

The ISOLatin1Encoding doesn't contain a Euro glyph encoding (htough 
oddly it does appear to contain what looks like a cent). You cna find 
the ISOLatin1Encoding defined in appendix E of the PostScript Language 
Reference Manual.

Of course, you can modify the Encoding array before you use it, and 
create an Encoding mapping to the /Euro glyph at any point which is 
convenient for you.
