The last week there was an interesting discussion about the Euro Symbol within KDE which I followed with great interest, cause I need it as well. I also realized that I didn't have the Euro-Symbol anywhere, so I started to grep the web for info. I managed to make it work on Console (for all those who are interested in how to do that, see later...) and "X without TrueType". Here're the details: As I said, it works fine in console... I have the xfs-xtt as well as the xfs font-server running (both standard debian setup). No other fonts in XF86Config-4 given! Now when I start gtkfontsel I can see (I think so...) all fonts available (I can select comic sans ms, a microsoft-font, wich is for sure a TT-Font!). When I choose a ISO-8859-15 font, I can type the "EuroSign" without any problem. I can even copy it to the Clipboard and I see the correct sign in Klipper. But I cannot paste it, I get a ' '. I can read Websites and eMails with the "EuroSign", but I cannot copy and paste it anywhere! And by typung <AltGr><e> I get that circle over an x, as explained in all the other eMails before. I do not have the slightest Idea what that could be... Can anybody help me? Thnx in advance... Now for all those who want/need the Euro-Symbol on console and did not manage to get it work at all, here's a summary of what I did (my entries are for Austria, but they should work for any other Language, as long as it uses ISO-8859-15): edit /etc/locale.gen: de_AT ISO-8859-15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 en_US ISO-8859-1 execute locale-gen edit /etc/environment: LC_ALL=de_AT [EMAIL PROTECTED] LANGUAGE=de_AT LC_CTYPE=de_AT (some lines might be redundant, so if anyone knows better just tell me!) Be sure that you chose a "Latin1" Keyboard; If you're not, just exec "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" and choose an appropriate keyboard (for me: pc/qwertz/German/Standard/latin1) edit /etc/console-tools/config: SCREEN_FONT=lat0-16 Reboot and that's it!!!
