As the Euro will be use by the EuroClub members at the end of the year, and
that people begins to move on it, is it possible that Mandrake 8.1 supports
Euro by default ?
i.e at least for Countries in the EuroClub use the local @euro
For exemple for France : fr_FR@euro
Another way might be to use the iso8859-15 charset, but althought this seems
to work, it also reduces greatly the number of available fonts on a standard
linux system... The advantage of the @euro solution is that it allows to keep
the latin1 (iso8859-1) charset.
The symbol is correctly map to the keyboard :
[will@bastard will]$ xmodmap -pke | grep EuroSign
keycode 26 = e E EuroSign cent
so the only pb are the locales :
[will@bastard will]$ locale
LANG=fr
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR
LC_TIME=fr_FR
LC_COLLATE=fr_FR
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR
LC_PAPER="fr"
LC_NAME="fr"
LC_ADDRESS="fr"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr"
LC_ALL=
At least I should have LC_ALL="fr_FR@euro"
seems to have an @euro option for all the locales, so where is the pb ? why
not set it by default during the install ?
