Subject: xlibs: euro symbol not correctly mapped

Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 16:27:59 +0200

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.1.0-8
Severity: normal

In its current state, the symbols maps under /etc/X11/xkb/symbols keep us from
displaying the Euro symbol.

As a font I currently use 

[eric@femto:~]$ grep -e '^XTerm.*font' .Xresources
XTerm.VT100.font: -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
[eric@femto:~]$

If we change the string 'EuroSign' for 'currency' in those xkb files, all is
solved.

Please correct this.

Thank you.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

First of all, this should probably have been reported quite some
I believe this could be fixed for woody in the next release (3.0r2?).
Since it's no longer a bug in sig I'm going to change the appropiate tags.

Hope you don't mind.

Regards

Subject: Problem with Euro support and British keyboard (euro-test.log attached)

Hello,

I'm running woody (2.4.18 + pre-emption patch) on an i686, with a
British keyboard (Euro glyph on the `4' key) and en_GB locale.  I know
I can get Euro support under Linux -- I managed it with Mandrake 8.1
and 8.2 easily enough, but under woody it only half-works.

I can _see_ the € (hopefully that looks like a Euro glyph at your end)
and can type it in X after I've run the `euro-test' program.  However
these settings are lost if I reboot or restart X.  I don't know why it
shouldn't always work, I have this in xmodmap:

keycode  13 = 4 dollar EuroSign cent

euro-test.log output is attached, gzipped.

Cheers.

Andrew Preater
