Abstract: When Patrick Grundlach posted a nice MetaPost version of the euro symbol to the ConTeXt discussion list, he added the comment "The official construction is ambigious: how thick are the horizontal bars? How much do they stick out to the left? Is this thing a circle or what? Are the angles on the left side of the bars the same as the one on the right side? ..." The alternative below is probably not as official as his, but permits a finetuning. You are warned: whatever you try, the euro is and will remain an ugly symbol.
