Importantly the font also has a  glyph called uni20AC.  Otherwise
it wouldn't work properly in a Unicode environment like Windows NT,
where the Euro has the old Unicode 1.1 position 20A0.  While the
font shares a subroutine for all these glyphs, its not clear why they 
bothered with different names.  There most be some brain-dead
software that gets confused by encoding vectors with repeated 
entries.  In any case, the font files would be a lot smaller without
these extraneous names...
