Thanks for your suggestion in using the pound sign / and the fonts, but the
'getCurrencyInstance' is supposed to hide all that from me.

I rather think it has something to do with the Tomcat 6 configuration,
because all else is equal: same server with same jave / same app / same
client / .. only in Tomcat 5.5 it does work, and in Tomcat 6 it doesn't.
