Note: I've kept the message in entire in my reply since it was only sent to me, and I suppose it should have been sent to the list also. My answer is at the bottom. On Mon, 2002-01-07 at 19:47, Diego SANTA CRUZ wrote:

Why is that?If I want to type an Euro character I use AltGr + e. Here are my observations with Evo 1.0 on a RedHat 7.2 with a 2.4.17 kernel:Same config here.* It works in the To: and Cc: fields.Same for me, it always appears to work.* Sometimes it works in the Subject: field sometimes not - an 'e' character is typed instead. This seems related to AltGr not working some of the time (in Evolution and the subject only), so if I want to type a '[' character in the subject I get an '8' because AltGr + 8 is the key-combo for '['.Same for me. If I go straight to the subject line it always works. If I type something in To: and/or CC: it usually stops working (but not always). And as you it AltGr that stops working, no othet AltGr ker combo works in subject:* I cannot type a Euro sign in the body at all. Weirdly I can type '[' and other characters for which I have to use the AltGr key all the time with no problems, so this seems to be a different issue than in the subject field.Same for me here. However, I managed to find a workaround :-) I finally managed to get the Euro sign working in the compose window (and in most other X apps, GTK or Xt). The problem appears to be that if the LANG variable is set to some locale that uses iso-8859-1 instead of iso-8859-15 (e.g., en_US), no Euro can be typed, even if the character set in the compose window is set to iso-8859-15. BTW, this is also the case with any other app (e.g. xterm). I would say that this is a bug in glibc locale definitions. The only english locale based on iso-8859-15 that I could find is en_IE euro (Ireland), so I changed to that (i.e. LANG=en_IE euro) and now I can type the Euro sign even though I'm using english :-)
That sounds very interesting. I'll try it out next thing.
I guess that the glibc locale definitions should use iso-8859-15 wherever iso-8859-1 is used.
Yes, I wonder if the the iso-8859-1 character set should not be considered deprecated. Is there anyone out there who knows what the "legal status", so to speak, of this character set is? -- Janus Christensen ______________________________________________________ I want something that'll give me the stamina of a young werewolf, the vision of a shaman, the thoughts of a serial killer and the gentleness of a hungry vampire bat. -- Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan
