Well, some further attempts.

echo -e "\244" should display the euro sign. Try it to see if the euro sign is present at all in the font which is used.
Hey, it doesn't. How / where should I check and set the correct font ? Try xlsfonts | grep 8859-15 to list all fonts containing the euro sign. (Only applies to X of course.) Lots of fonts listed. You do see ten euro signs here?? --> €€€€€€€€€€ Yes I do ! -- nothing to do with marriage I hope ;-) -- I'm using the arial font in KMail.
And this is what I read in the SDB: ---Support for Euro symbol in KDE--- Start the KDE control center Look & Feel Country & Language and change the value iso-8859-1 to iso-8859-15. Additionally, you may have to change to iso-8859-15 in some applications (e.g. Konqueror) in order to use the Euro symbol there.
Yes, I know, but there is no such thing in the Control Center (3.1.4) under 9.0 anymore !! That's what makes me getting lost at this. There now is a "Regional & Accessibility" entry. When choosing that, I can select a "Country/Region & Language" entry, which allows me to set a locale (i.e. Country and Language), numbers, money, time&dates, and "other" (=paper format and measure system), but NOT anything related to char sets. That's why I ask above "how can I set the proper char set ?". I can't even find where to check for the one that I'm using right now.
You're using KMail I see. Make sure that you've set the used fonts to iso-8859-15 here as well.
And, again, how should I do that ? As said above, I have chosen "arial" for KMail and I do see the eurosigns you typed. <snip>
BTW : I'm back to RC_LANG="en_US", but according to somebody from Belgium who reacted also, he did have the Euro sign while having en_US. I'm getting pretty confused by all this.
I have RC_LANG="en_IE@euro".
LC_ALL is not set, i.e. echo $LC_ALL gives nothing.
my 'Pause' key has keycode 110, so I have this in ~/.Xmodmap: keycode 110 = Multi_key The Pause key, followed by C and = gives the euro sign.
Well, thanks, but this also doesn't work for me. ;-( I did set keycode 110 = Multi_key but just nothing happens, when I type pause-key C = .
You did check, using xev, that your keycode for 'Pause' equals 110? Yes, abolutely, I checked and all was set OK. As I said already in my previous mail, it looks like the system (xmodmap ??) doesn't recognize the "Multi-key" expression (and neither the "Mode_switch" expression as I unsuccessfully tried in my previous attempts) although they are recognized correctly when I look with xev. Is that possible/thinkable ? If yes, why ? <snip> Greetings, -- Jan Elders
Have tried that one also before, without success. the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
