Ah, so *that's* why I'm seeing a lot of open squares on webpages where I should see a Euro symbol. Instead of using iso8859-15, the site is using M$ bastard-8859-1. Well perhaps the Linux distro's should follow that example, put a Euro symbol at 0x80 in the 8859-1 charset. It would not be completely standards-compliant but it would be easy and useful. Or would that make us just as bad as Microsoft where standards are concerned ? Mike.
