Well, after some trys and downloading fonts, I think one of both:

a) Say all of the fonts I've find are wrong or

b) there is a bug in gnumeric or gnome-print 

When gnumeric stores the chain 111"eurosign"111 as
<gmr:Content>111&#164;111</gmr:Content>
is storing in the locale(iso885915) set by the user or in unicode?

if in user locale then there is a problem in gnome-print or in the
communication beteen gnumeric and gnome-print (there is nothing in the
xml file that specifies the encoding)

if in unicode, then gnumeric is missrecognizing its input.
