RE: [Cooker] euro symbol?
In Windows i use ctrl+atl+4, or alt-gr+4, or alt-0128(numeric) to get the symbol. In linux it's different. There's a position 164 in the character set for the euro symbol but in my version of mandrake it's the ISO 8589-1 currency symbol (the little o with the jagged corners), not the ISO 8589-15 euro symbol, even though I recompiled my kernel to use Latin 9(ISO xxx-15) as the default NLS, and this is what my filesystems use, and my language is English(Ireland) - ireland being a eurozone country, and keyboard layout UK - euro key layout. -Original Message- From: Pieter Kubben [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 September 2002 17:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Cooker] euro symbol?

RE: [Cooker] euro symbol?
I have yes, it just prints out a slightly stylised e (like in the condensed ae symbol).

When i try crtl-alt-5 i should get a euro On dutch keyboards it's this key combination? Interesting... a In holland almost all keyboards are US. CRTL-ALT-5 is the standard a place for US keyboard No, it is not. There is no EuroSign defiend at all on the us keyboard layout from XFree86. AltGr-E is the default key combination however, and all latin keyboards get it (unless they redefine AltGr-E). You can also use compose + e + = (e, and equal sign). I just took a look at the Dutch keyboard, and AltGr-E is already kept by eacute; but AltGr-5 is nto defined; I'll put an EuroSign there. So; does AltGr-5 is actually used to input an EuroSign ? (I'll be particualrly interested in evidence of that usage in other operating systems) -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga You do realise that the standard keyboard used in holland is us keyboard and not dutch (I can't remember ever seening a dutch keyboard and i have only seen them buyable at Dell as something you could order instead of us keyboard). The standard place for the euro is on a us keyboard is something with a 5 (because on the 5 key there is a euro symbole). I have misread the debian euro howto. Thought it was CTRL-ALT-5 but it seems to be AltGr+5. I don't know what a logical place would be on a nl-keyboard so i don't know if what you are doing is wish. May i do a suggestion: Can we have a us keyboard optimized for dutch ?

No, it is not. There is no EuroSign defiend at all on the us keyboard
layout from XFree86.
Than XFree86 must be wrong, or dutch us keyboards are different for US us keyboards:)
I have a new dutch keyboard, which is just a US keyboard (setxkbmap nl, gives me all
kind
of wrong symbols when pressing certain keys, for instance: @ instead of ~).
Next to the 5 is located an Euro (€) symbol. So I think it is obvious that something
like alt-5 is supposed to
make an euro-char?
..this actually comes down to adding this line to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/us
(or make an nl_us entry):
key AD03 {[ e,E ],
[ EuroSign ] };
and substituting the AE05 line with:
key AE05 {[ 5,percent ],
[ Eurosign, cent ] };
This works beautifull for me and is better than the deprecated (?) xmodmap stuff.
While we're at it, maybe other much used dutch characters (é, è, ë) can be added as
well somewere (question:
where so I can make a complete file?) in this new layout. It should be
submitted to the X people I guess,
since us keyboards are muuuccch more used in holland than the original dutch keyboards.
Also an entry for dutch keyboards should be made in the kde-control center.
Oh..another question: any idea where I find (or define?) this 'Compose' key?

Re: [Cooker] Euro support
Yes, this works fine. Hope the guys will get this automated in 8.1-final. Thanks.

If you want to automatise the locale setting, you may put the command in your /etc/profile. 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

Re: [Cooker] euro support in Mandrake
So sprach »Fabrice FACORAT« am 2001-08-29 um 03:17:13 +0200 : 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 ? 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.
