Javi,
I have finally suceeded in rendering and using the ¤ (euro sign) and I
should say that it is thanks to Hendrik Sattler, although the settings for
German and Spanish differ in several aspects. I am using woody (Debian 3.0) +
KDE 2.2.1 (from sid).
These are my settings. It may be possible that some are not necessary:
1) /etc/locale.gen:
es_ES ISO-8859-15
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15
en_US ISO-8859-1
Run locale-gen after modifying this file.
2) /etc/environment:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-15
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
this allows that KDE aplications read tke variables on startup. The settings
for LC_ALL and LANG must be exactly as I show them. Any other combination
does not work. I do not know if the last two items are needed.
3) Install package user-es. If you run "/usr/bin/castellanizar" you will get
a file called "/etc/language-es" which should be called by /etc/bash.bashrc
and /etc/profile.
/etc/language-es (some of the entries):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
export LC_ALL
LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-15
export LANG
4) Install xfonts-100dpi-transcoded and xfonts-75dpi-transcoded
5) Modify in Kcontrol -> Personalización -> País e Idioma from ISO-8859-1 to
ISO-8859-15
6) Some individual applications from KDE may need that you change the
codification from ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-15 (like kmail or kedit)
7) This is NOT necessary to be changed. The entry in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/de
should say:
key <AD03> { [ e, E ],
[ EuroSign, cent ] };
which is the default one. If you change EuroSign by currency it does NOT
work. Here it differs from the German case.
With these settings you will get ¤ on applications like kmail, kword,
kedit,... but if you type Alt-Gr E on konsole you will get the circle with
four corners in the form of X. If you copy and paste this sign from konsole
to kmail the symbol is pasted as ¤. In kdm you cannot type ¤ because it does
not work there, but I guess nobody needs it there :-)
