The EU government leaders decided to replace the EMS by a single currency in 1992. That's about when Forms 4.5 hit the market. They decided to call it Euro and to introduce the € sign many years later, probably at the same time Forms 4.5 got desupported. The P15 characterset was introduced quite recently. Your solution is called ... upgrade to something recent.
