Hi all,
I know there once was a setting in kcontrol to define the character encoding for KDE, which I used to define iso8859-15, to be able to use the EURO sign.
I'm not finding this option anymore - nor in KDE-3.2 and neither in KDE-3.1.3...
Any ideas how I can define this now or which character encoding KDE uses by default?
KDE itself use UNICode by default. Some applications have ways to set the encoding for that application.
How KDE interprets 8 bid encoding should be selected by your choice of Country/Region & Language.
P.S: My problem is, that I can't use the EURO sign currently ...
The KCM module "Country/Region & Language" is also where you can select your representation for "Money".
Now if your question is how to get: "€" in place of: "EUR", I'm not exactly clear about that except that the: "€" symbol is on page number 32 in UNICode.
Did you try changing your: "Currency symbol" in the KCM?
Or do you need to insert it when you are typing a document?
That would be a keyboard issue and I don't know if keyboard layouts have been upgraded to use it. Otherwise, you can use KCharSelect (it is in Table 32) with other symbols.
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 "€€€" ?).
Yes, three EuroSigns.
Did the EuroSigns in my e-mail show up OK on your system?
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 ?
This is seriously weird. :-|
You are having a font encoding problem (at least 90% sure but you never know for sure).
But, you would normally get a small square box rather than a blank when the glyph isn't in the font.
Have you tried other fonts to see if you have the same problem? That is probably what I would try next.
As I said, some KDE applications let you set the encoding. Did you try this in KMail?
