I'm hoping there's a way for me to generate the Euro symbol from a console app (like vim). I would appreciate any and all suggestions, including how to test whether it's actualy working. Thanks in advance for all suggestions. I'm on Fedora Core 4, with U.S. configuration all the way--but it's UTF8! I'm hoping there's some magic I can do with perhaps the Alt key and three digits on the numeric keypad. Frankly, I wonder whether my screen reader will voice the word "euro" should I succeed, but I'd settle for being able to generate the char reliably. Here's my locale output: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
