Can not get b ,uro symbol to work

[Alan Casey]

Hi,

I have tried the following:
$ more /etc/kbdlang
PS2_DIN_UK_English_Euro
$ locale
LANG=en_GB.iso885915@euro
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_TIME="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.iso885915@euro"
LC_ALL=

$ echo "\0244"
?

$ stty -a
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
rows = 24; columns = 80
min = 1; time = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U

opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tosto

I just can't get the Euro symboy to work.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Probably ;)

What enviroment and H/W are you using to display it ie are you locally on an hp workstation or server or on a remote client eg a PC ?

Are you using Xwindows/CDE ?

Have you followed the info in /usr/share/doc/euro_howto.doc

be aware the euro font symbol is ONLY supported under an Xwindows env on hpux. As for PC Xemulation s/w most if not all either rely on the latest versions on their s/w or require patches and probably need a fontserver to be setup on the hpux server.

answer the above and post your email and I'll dig out some useful info for you.

Hi,

I have followed Have you followed the info in /usr/share/doc/euro_howto.doc

I have tried this in XWindows hpterm, and telnet and on the console.

[Alex Glennie]

Not supported as far as I'm aware on a console

extract from the Euro_howto.txt file...

===============================================
Limitations

1. X11R6 Clients Only

The euro symbol is not available for X11R5 clients such as xterm
and hpterm.

===============================================

try in a dtterm ?

Yea, alex is right about the X11R5 clients.

That pretty much sucks..
Although you can echo the unicode and it should work. I believe it is 0x16 but don't quote me.

X apps need to be rewritten to include the symbol via the XInputLocal protocol.

There should be something on http://www.hp.com/go/euro

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

well the go/euro didn't work..

rooted this one out:

http://www.software.hp.com/products/EURO/

Wow, that's an old web page due for a revamp!
Especially since the euro is kinda big news...
