Currency Symbols on Droid

[srbarlow3]

My app has a interface item to select the currency symbol to be used in formatting money. As a greedy american I wanted to appeal to the world wide market and wanted to start out offering Dollars, Euros, Pounds, and Yen. On my iOS version it works great. In my Android version, the Euro symbol is replaced by some little beach ball with for short arms. (Looks like a white filled small O centered over a small X. I think it is some universal international currency symbol but not what I wanted. I tried adding a font to my project that displays all the correct symbols while running in the IDE but on the AVD it now has the Dollar and Euro right, the Yen and Pound are replaced by punctuation marks.

I am hoping some Euro -pean user has faced this before and can offer a solution... either a different font to add to my project or another even better solution.

ps. It did occur to me that my AVD is running in a Mac and I haven't tried this on an actual device yet. Don't think that would matter but wanted to put it out there in case it did.

HI Russ,

can't you use/set the htmltext?

That way you could add htmlentities and that should work fine crossplatform:
...
¥
£
€
etc...

Best
