India not being powerful enough to insist So after installing the fordian font only when the rupee fordian font is selected does the tilde key work, there seems no other option right now there is a set of fonts for all characters and if you use this font the only way to get it on this mail was to copy paste from open office ` some help sites are ` http://blog.ask4itsolutions.com/2010/08/03/installing-new-indian-rupee-symbol-in-linux-fedora-rhel-ubuntu/ http://blog.foradian.com/rupee-font-version-20 http://tektikr.com/download-and-try-rupee-font-in-ubuntu/ ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Thanks in Advance Regards Narendra Diwate Hi, See if this ( http://blog.foradian.com/rupee-foradian-keyboard-layout-type-the-india ) helps , this post has a unicode version of the font , and you can use xmodmap to map the character to a key . -- srihari -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] Rupee symbol
I want help to set a key for the symbol and to make it permanent. I am using Linux mint if it helps. I know it is not Ubuntu, but I am sure it won't be too different. You could install the new Ubuntu font family. You can also consider installing Ubuntu 10.10 which comes with rupee symbol by default. In fact it's the first OS in the world to have the Indian Rupee Symbol. There you can use Ctrl-Shift-u 2 0 b 9 enter to get the rupee symbol. For more details check out http://font.ubuntu.com/rupee/ and http://font.ubuntu.com/. -- Chethan S. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
