Bloody Euro!
I have followed the instructions in Mandrake to enable Euro support and
nothing works.
When I press ALT-GR + e I get ?.
This is what they say you may have under Mandrake 8.1 and you can fix it by
selecting ISO-8859-15 at kcontrol. Well I did it and is now when I get '?'
before I was not getting a thing.
I tried with xev and everything seems ok:
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x53, subw 0x0, time 3513794814, (73,127), root:(77,147),
state 0x2000, keycode 26 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
I think the problem is in the charset, I saw it with simple C and Java
programs one and I don't see the Euro symbol anywhere, in a terminal window,
Although I can see it on this message... "like this �."
I think Euro support on MDK8.1 sucks!
I have a Spanish locale, probably the solution on Mandrake web page is just
for the French locale.
Anyone knows how to change the bloody charset so I can see the �?
What charcode is the Euro supposed to be? I see the Unicode 0x20ac at xev but
that is not a valid code.
Thanks!
