Thanks ScottMartin,

I’ve searched for information on google and I can not find the problem, I don’t see the euro symbol ONLY with scriptcase, if I make a php that displays text with the encoding of the euro appears …

I’m going crazy …

I leave the solution to my problem with the symbol of “?”

Following the help of FPDF I had to create a font which was included ? command, in my case I opted for the Lucida Sans (unicode) following these instructions:

1 -> ttf2pt1 -a c:windowsfontsL_10646.TTF lsansu

2 -> use php to call the script makefont FPDF directory with the following instruction:
<? Php
require (‘makefont/makefont.php’);
MakeFont (‘c:windowsfontsL_10646.TTF’, ‘lsansu.afm’, ‘ISO-8859-15’);
?>
The function returns the following report:
Font file compressed (lsansu.z)
Font definition file generated (lsansu.php)

3 -> In the application scriptcase PDF option “Layout PDF - Code - Layout” enter:
sc_pdf_add_font (‘lsansu lsansu.php’,’’,’’);
sc_pdf_set_font (‘lsansu’,’’, 35);

4 -> In the application scriptcase PDF option “Layout PDF - Code - Definition” monetary change the fields ‘font_type’ => ‘lsansu’

5 -> Publish Application and ready.

Sincerely,
