-Thanks for numerous people who gave me advice in Usenet.

-!!!2. The Euro Character
-
-The new character set, ''ISO-8859-15'' which is also known
-as ''latin9'' and in order
-to maximize confusion as ''latin0'', was created to
-replace ''ISO-8859-1 (latin1)''
-and it includes the euro character.
-
-
-
-
-The Euro is mapped to ''!AltGr-e'' and the cent
-- if it is used - is mapped
-to ''!AltGr-Shift-e'' in X and on !AltGr-c on console.
-
-
-
-
-The Euro Mini HOWTO was written on a Debian system and the set up
-works on Debian 3.0 (Debian testing as the time of writing).
-
-
-----
-!!!3. The Euro and Locales
-
-''glibc 2.2'' and newer support the Euro. The correct locale
-is, for example, ''fi_FI@euro''.
-
-
-----
-!!!4. The Euro and the Console
-
-Check that the file /usr/share/keymaps/include/euro.inc.gz includes lines
-
-
-
-altgr keycode 18 = currency
-altgr keycode 46 = cent
-
-
-A console font, which suppports euro, must be loaded. Red Hat uses
-command setfont and Debian uses command consolechars.
-
-
-
-
-In Debian the file /etc/console-tools/config must have ISO-8859-15
-screen font:
-
-
-
- SCREEN_FONT=lat0-16
-
-
-In Red Hat the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n must have lines
-
-
-
- SYSFONT=lat0-16
-SYSFONTACM=iso15
-----
-!!!5. The Euro in the X Window System
-
-With default configuration ''!AltGr-e'' (the ''right
-Alt'' for those who have
-no !AltGr) produces the generic currency symbol which looks like a four
-legged spider. When the font of the program is changed to a
-''ISO-8859-15'' font the currency symbol is replaced by
-the Euro symbol. In Debian
-this can be achieved by adding line
-
-
-
- .XTerm.VT100.font: -jmk-neep alt-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
-
-
-to the file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. The fonts
-available in distributions and installations vary.
-
-
-
-
-If !AltGr-e does not work add line
-
-
-
- keycode 26 = e E !EuroSign
-
-
-to the file /etc/X11/Xmodmap
-
-
-----
-!!5.1. KDE
-
-Change the font setting in KControl to ISO-8859-15.
-
-
-----
-!!5.2. GTK and Gnome
-
-Change the font setting in Gnome Control Center to ISO-8859-15.
-
-
-
-
-A better way of doing this is changing the system wide GTK+ configuration
-with commands
-
-
-
-cd /etc/gtk
-ln -s gtkrc.iso-8859-15 gtkrc
-----
-!!!6. Emacs
-
-Emacsen 21 and newer have partial euro support. The following elisp
-should work:
-
-
-
- (set-face-font
-'default '"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15")
-
-
-Note that you cannot write Euro characters. You can only see them.
