Hello. Being in Ireland, I thought I ought to give this a whirl, and it doesn't work for me either. I also seem to have found the articles wolfi referred to: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_euro.html http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_foreign_euro.html The Euro Symbol € is under the numeral 4 on my keyboard, and in Windows land I just need to press Ctrl-Alt-4 and the euro symbol appears. I followed the instructions in the above SDB articles, but it still doesn't work. Obviously, I logged out of KDE and back in again. I'm wondering if this is something that requires a reboot after changing, or maybe just a re-init might suffice. Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: wolfi [mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com] Sent: 03 January 2002 10:19 To: SuSE List Subject: Re: [SLE] Slightly baffled with the Euro symbol On Thu, 2002-01-03 at 09:16, Clayton Cornell wrote:

Hi Clayton, The Euro-Symbol is AltGr-E on the German keyboard, and I heard it would be Ctrl-Alt-E on an American. Ok, however, it's not that easy .... have a look at SuSE-sdb. In short: 1. Check your locales which support the €: tux:~ # locale --all-locale | grep euro If yours doesn't end on @euro, it istn't working. Fire up Old-YaST, system administration, change config file, go to RC_LANG and set it to a value which supports the Euro. For England this might possibly be en_IE@euro Once you're in this config-file, you are recommended to set Console-Font to lat9w-16.psfu.gz. (see sdb for details). 2. Use the Euro symbol: Set encoding to iso-8859-15. It might have been iso-8859-1 originally. This must be done e.g. in the KDE control center Wolfi ============================================= mailto:wolfi_z@yahoo.com The sdb URL should be: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_euro.html _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
