OK, now I'm totally confused.
I know where to set the currency symbol - that's not the problem, as I did
that before.
But I have now upgraded to KDE-3.2 current CVS, and also to XFree86 4.4 CVS
snapshot a few days ago.
Before those upgrades, I could see the EURO sign e.g. when I type here in
kmail, but now I don't (do you see something if I type 3 times EURO "€€€" ?).
I just have some empty space). I use the font Courier [Urw], which definitely
has the EURO sign in Table 32 using kcharselect as you said - but:
Using kcharselect shows me the EURO sign in the table-view, but if I click on
the EURO sign, I get _nothing_ in the Textfield below, where normally all the
chars clicked on are pasted.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks
