Hi.
Sorry to bore everybody once again with this issue, but after a full
machine crash I restarted from scratch and found another way to get a
"working" lyx set-up. As I don't understand all this keyboard / fonts /
encoding stuff in X11 applications, maybe this may help, maybe somebody
will explain to me where I'm wrong, who knows ... ?
The data
- an old LyX cvs from 1.3.0pre1
- worked perfectly on RH 7.1, [EMAIL PROTECTED] i.e. "¤" got from
<AltGr>e, ISO-8859-15 encoding and fonts.
- machine crash + disk lost (I'd a backup, thank's ;-) ),
reinstalled with RH 9.0 (I'm not root on my machine !!! )
- the install was "natively" in FR:UTF-8 -> impossible to get 2
applications working properly at the same time, so I asked my sysadmin to
go back to an [EMAIL PROTECTED] setup (even at the system/console level).
- everything worked well in LyX, except that I could'nt get "¤"
from the keyboard -> unknown function !!
after playing a while with LyX dbg 4, I noticed that the key was
recognized and gave "EuroSign", which failed because "!isText()".
adding :
\bind "EuroSign" "self-insert ¤"
to bind/latinkeys.bind SOLVE the problem. (Note the ¤ after self-insert,
otherwise there is no error but ... no char added to the file either).
Note that the LyX code and install was exactly the same as before (well ,
recompiled and relinked, though). So why do I need this extra key binding
now ? Could it harm in a "proper" system or should I submit a patch ?
Anyway, if this trick may help somebody, somewhere ...
Alain
