Hi all, I have a quandry that I am hoping someone here can answer for me. While chatting in KSirc last evening, I started playing with getting my "compose" key working so that I could type the special characters, like ¿, ë, é, ö, 98°, etc. Well, everything seems to work ok with all the special characters except for the Euro sign. I get displayed while typing, a small circle with 4 spikes coming out of it, but it displays correctly when being viewed by someone in Europe I might be chatting with and also when I view a mail from anyone, including myself in kmail. What I don't understand is why, when I am typing or using any of the chat programs that it displays as the circle with spikes? I type this ¤ ¤ ¤ and see not a euro, but a spikey little circle! So where does one go now to change the character set group. I think my system is set for iso8859-1, which seems to include the euro, but I am guessing that most european users are using the iso8859-15 group which is the extended set with the euro. Someone can explain, yes, no? Thanks Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206
