 |
|
Hi there...
I assigned the Windows key on my keyboard to the EuroSign
using Xmodmap (Keycode 116 = EuroSign)
Now i can type the euro sign in applications like Mozilla (), OpenOffice and in some parts of Evolution but not in lots of other apps like gedit, gaim etc. etc.
Anyone who can tell me what causes this and how i can fix this?

just set your lang to have euro support
| Code: | export LC_CTYPE=(yourlang)@euro
|
My euro symbol on openoffice doesn't work |

Concerning openoffice. Try :
| Code: | | export LANG="$YOUR_LANGUAGE@euro" |
or
| Code: | | export LC_ALL="$YOUR_LANGUAGE@euro" |
I'm not sure, but I think the latter implies the previous.
Concerning no Euro Symbol in the other Applications: You sure you have in your applications a font with the Euro Symbol configured?

| It isn't related to locale settings... openoffice gives errors about X not supporting that locale. But that is wrong since all other apps use the euro symbol fine. |

found the answer: 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
is missing some (lang)@euro definitions all you have to do is to add:
pt_PT@euro pt_PT.ISO8859-15
pt_PT@euro: pt_PT.ISO8859-15
each one after
pt_PT pt_PT.ISO8859-1
pt_PT@euro: pt_PT.ISO8859-1
NOTE: pt_PT@euro isn't the only one missing so if you have problem with euro symbol on OpenOffice make sure to check that file. |
