i've just installed a new version (v2.5.8) of the uk faq on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq), and on the faq web page (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq).

included is the answer to a question whose absence has been the subject of a lot of ridicule of the hapless faqer of cambridge:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=euro

in addition, i've installed a small package of my own, which is mentioned by a question in the new version of the faq.

this package, macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/bold-extra.sty, makes nfss tables for using the fonts in fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold (bold cmtt and cmcsc fonts).

those creating tex distributions are welcome to copies of my experimental static versions of the faq pages: please contact me direct.
