On my machine (7.3, kde 2.2.1 kmail 1.3.1) these 3 symbols _do_ appear as Euros. Weird. Could this be an encoding issue? I've got the encoding set to Western-European iso-8859-15.
Hi Jethro, you are right: in Netscape I see a "placeholder". If I view that (reply of yours quoting my mail) with kmail I can see Euros. I still think in the encoding for the byte in my mail the appropiate character (bytewise) is used, unfortunately, there is no representation in the actual font file (older than the euro??) so I see nothing. It could be that the iso-8859-X is somehow different on this. -1 should have (Western / Western Europe???) the euro sign. But I can change the encoding for sending mails with kmail. No euro there either, just a question mark. I think the question is "how can I view a font (file) to see the characters of that very font?" If this font is known to ghostscript, I got the answer: (but not handy. I wanted by someone I'll look it up) Anyway. I'll be off now to spend my last DM and start spending Euros first time. ;-) Juergen
I've got a US keyboard without a Euro symbol on it (only bought it 10 months ago, I would have expected all keyboards to carry a Euro) and I can't get it to type Euros with any of the advice suggested.
Regards,
Jethro
