Juan, nothing is wrong with Cuis. I apologize:
This post was at least a bit off-topic.

This post refers to LaTex only. The examples are taken from a
simple piece of LaTex code, written with Emacs.

I don't know what this \euro command does – and
admittedly I have no stomach to find out.
I only look at the results.

The tex-file looks like this:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Beleg}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
   \caption{KA0482}
   \begin{tabular}{ll}
     Datum:&00.00.0000\\
     Betrag:&0,00\euro\\
     Betrag:&500,00€\\
     Buchungstext:&Orem lipsum und der ganze Shiet.\\
   \end{tabular}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

I also attached the resulting PDF-file.

In a nutshell everything, especially Cuis replacement of \euro with €,
would be fine, if LaTex would adhere to (European) standards.


Again sorry for bothering you and Best Regards,

Gerald
