[Cooker] Euro support
I've seen this debated before but I have to add my voice to those that are getting no joy ;-( I followed instructions to amend /etc/sysconfig/i18n to put en_BE@euro in all relevant places (I'm a brit living in Belgian and using a belgian keyboard), and these are loading on boot. But all I'm getting with an AltGr-e is ¤ (which I believe is called currency sign). AltGr-E gives ¢ (cent). I'm using arial fonts throughout and iso 18859-15 as my charset in KDE control panel, and get the following $ xmodmap -pke | grep 26 keycode 26 = e E EuroSign cent What more can and should I do?

Yes, this works fine. Hope the guys will get this automated in 8.1-final. Thanks.

Well, it works for me only in Mozilla, not Xterm and Nedit -- basically, those are the three apps I use most. =) K¤¤p trying. =) Grégøir¤

I don't know where locales are set Just wondering : is it easy to substitute the useless "£" symbol (english currency) in favor of the Euro, on a 102 keys keyboard without the Euro key? Just answer if that's not too difficult, otherwise I will live without it. Thanks in advance. Grégoire

The current status: Console : Euro works Mozilla : Euro works without de_DE@euro Koffice : Euro does not work - cannot get it to work with de_DE@euro Gnumeric : Euro does not work - starts to work with de_DE@euro most other X apps probably do not work with Euro ALexander

Uh? I've set my locale settings to de_DE, and at least on the console I already have Euro. In X not, however. But that may be because I didn't do a clean install for quite some time now.

[Cooker] euro support in Mandrake
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 ? -- Copyleft Faber's prod. 2001 http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html
