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 have just tried it out in this manner: from a gnome-terminal window I do export LANG=en_IR euro and then I open a new gnome-terminal window gnome-terminal which should make the new terminal inherit the environment and it seems to do so too, but I get: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library Which gets me no further. I know this is OT, and many apologies for it, but how can I check which locales I have access to? And some pointers on how to install more than I have would be nice.
