The reason for this is that for some option key combinations 
European keyboards generate different ASCII codes to American ones.
Thus a new version of the Princeton font won't solve this problem,
you have to modify the font for use with European machines. There is an
application called the Localiser which does a reasonable job of this
automatically, though its preferable to do it manually using a font
editor. We have done this here at Warwick U. and have several 
mathematical fonts for use with UK keyboards (and I believe they should
work with any European keyboard). They are all based on Princeton but
have evolved considerably since then to suit my needs. Mail me if you 
want a copy, if there is sufficient demand I shall post them to NSM.
