Hi, install the three euro-support packages provided by debian and read the HOWTO. For console-euro use you also have depending on your configuration to add this to /etc/console-tools/config: SCREEN_FONT_vc1=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat0-16 See also this msg mentioned in the HOWTO: [...] El Mié 24 Oct 2001 11:15, javi escribió: > Hi all!! > > We have to say that we don't get the euro under KDE.

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 :-) regards, Pablo de Vicente KDE spanish translation team.
