The Disappearing Euro

I'm currently in the final testing stages of a new typeface created in Fontlab 4.5.1. It's postscript Type 1 set to Imported encoding. When I test strings of text in InDesign 2.0 any instance of the Euro or Apple symbol are left blank. Is this a standard for InDesign? Or is this on my end?

Of course the symbol can be inserted via Insert Glyphs but not with a keystroke. Using my system True Type fonts the Euro and Apple do however show up without using Insert Glyphs.

Anyone have experience with this?

I'll rephrase...
Does the Euro show up for everyone while using postscript fonts and InDesign 2.0?
