1. You need fonts with "euro". 2. You need (maybe) to change your Xmodmap for X and boottime.kmap for console. 1. The best way is to get ISO8859-15 fonts for X and to used (open an xterm with: xterm -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-15). Euro will be instead of that 'strange "currency" sign'. 2. You can edit the Xmodmap file, mine is in /etc/X11. Put something like keycode 0x1A = e E euro euro or keycode 0x1A = e E curency curency Or open xkeycaps and do the changes you like, save into a file and add in your .xsession: xmodmap name-file > > In console, if I "loadkeys euro.inc.gz", I can make the cent, but get a > square for AltGr+e.

For console I sugest you to use the fonty package. When it ask for configuration tell it to use iso15. You can edit your default keymap for the console. Mine is /etc/console/boottime.kmap, but you may have other file. (/usr/share/keymaps/defkeymap.map ...) Inside you should have something like that: charset "iso-8859-15" keymaps 0-6,8-9,12 alt_is_meta include "azerty-layout" include "linux-with-alt-and-altgr" strings as usual keycode 1 = Escape ... keycode 18 = +e +E euro euro ... > > Please understant that I want to make this work for both woody and > potato. > It should work for both. I wrote somethink about seting a keyboard and some examples for Romanian keyboard. Maybe you can get a hint: http://httpd.chello.nl/s.ciobica/tastatura/index-en.html I hope it help. Ionel
