Hi everyone -
I'm running Debian testing on an iBook 2. The keyboard has the
sterling (£) symbol printed on the "3" key, so I'm inclined to think
it's a British layout. However, the "at" (@) and double quote (")
symbols are switched round to the U.S. style.
I'm trying to get the SHIFT+3 combination to produce the sterling
symbol in the console. It works just fine in Firefox and other
applications, but not in terminal windows, so I think it's a
console-related problem.
Under multi-gnome-terminal, on the command line, SHIFT+3 produces a
hash (#) followed by a carriage return. However, when editing a text
file with vim, SHIFT+3 produces what seems to be a blank space. I
know this is actually an incorrectly displayed sterling symbol,
because I can highlight the area using the mouse, then paste the
result into another non-console application where it is displayed as a
sterling symbol.
I've issued : 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' a few times, and tried
out some of the Apple variants there, but nothing seems to make a
difference.
So, why else might the console not be displaying the sterling symbol correctly?
Thanks in advance,
Archie
