Howdy,

I believe you'll need to be using the CMSuper or Latin Modern Fonts sincee
the euro glyph is not part of Computer Modern. If you have CMSuper just add
the line

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

and to use Latin Modern add the additional line (i.e., both lines should be
there)

\usepackage{lmodern}

The fourier package also has the euro symbol. To use that, if available on
your system, you need only the line

\usepackage{fourier}

since the fontencoding is embedded in the package.

Good Luck,
