I never got a response to my original request, so, no, I can't help. And my boss is breathing down my neck about this, so I'd appreciate it if anyone knows how to use the euro symbol. To answer your question, the Euro is the currency of Europe. It was devised a few years back and is being pushed as the way forward for European Monetary Union by, primarily, the French and the German governments. The British, being British, are not having anything to do with it. A fair bit of business across European countries is conducted in this currency. The symbol looks like a curly upper case E. Must've taken them years to design that.
Derick, can you let us know what the Euro Currency Symbol please, weve heard of the currency and some of our businesses are starting to use it as a international currency, but didn't know it has it's own symbol.
I'm running SuSE-6.2 on my workstation and I('ve been told that I) need to be able to display the Euro currency symbol on it. I have the default KDE-1.1 desktop.
Er, how do I do it? What key do I press? Will it appear in all applications? Do I need a special font? Do I need to upgrade my distro?

I have done some research and got the reply that it is supported, at least in newer versions of SuSE Linux (dunno about 6.2). It is supported, at least when using X. Try the following in your ~/.xmodmaprc : clear mod3 add mod3 = Mode_switch keycode 26 = e E currency keycode 54 = c C cent However, you will need a font that actually contains this symbol. I found the following to be working: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15 Hope that helps!
