Setting the ISO8859-15 codeset

To access the fonts containing the Euro symbol, you must set the internal and console codesets to ISO8859-15 using the International Settings Manager. As root:

  1. Determine your current console codeset setting. It is the second setting listed in the file /etc/default/codeset.

  2. Start the International Settings Manager by selecting System Administration -> System -> International Settings Manager on the desktop, or by entering the following at the command-line prompt:

    scoadmin international

  3. From the scroll lists on the International Settings Manager main window, select a language and a keyboard.

  4. From the Settings menu, select Codeset...Internal, then select ``ISO8859-15''. Click on OK.

  5. From the Settings menu, select Codeset...Console.

    If your current console codeset starts with ``ISO8859'', accept the default of ``ISO8859-15''. If you have a PS/2®-style keyboard (that is, your current console codeset is ``IBM850''), select ``IBM858''.

    Click on OK.

  6. Exit the International Settings Manager and reboot the machine. The new system settings take effect after you reboot.
