Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2398
Euro sign has stopped working
Last modified: 2002-07-08 10:48:55 UTC
In 638c, the euro sign worked just fine. After setting LC_CTYPE to fi_FI@euro, I was able to get the euro sign by pressing AltGr + e, which I perceive as the correct (and the easiest) way to do it. However, after trying 641, this no longer works, but I get that strange 'currency' symbol. (The O with spikes.)
DL->SBA: Please write a 6.0 final bug and send it to CP.

Input method?
Input Method?
Input method? Do you mean to ask how XFree86 is configured, or what? Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc102" Option "XkbLayout" "fi" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle" EndSection
Alexander, I need more information (works for me ...): Please start "xev" and type AltGR-E in that window. I'm interested in the output of xev as these keystrokes are concerned. What locale do you use (output of "locale" command) ? What font have you tried (Please verify that the font contains the Euro symbol: have a look at "Insert -> Special Character" dialog inside OOo). At which position is the Euro symbol ?

Oops... Replace 639 with 638c in last comment.
Hi Alex, seems all to be fine (and it works for me :-) is it ok to e-mail you a library that is a little bit more verbose to provide more insight what's going on ? The lib will be about 1.5MB
Hello Christof! Go ahead.
too late ! The bug's already evaluated. It's a problem with detecting the encoding of the locale correctly. If you can, please use a locale like fi_FI.iso8859-15. If you can't please set the environment variable SOLAR_USER_RTL_TEXTENCODING for example add the following lines to your soffice start script: SOLAR_USER_RTL_TEXTENCODING=22 export SOLAR_USER_RTL_TEXTENCODING 22 is the number for iso8859-15 encoding. hth
you already have the "peer" bug, please take care of this one, too.
Martin, isn't this a candidate for OOO_STABLE_1 ?
Added ooo1.0 keyword.
files changed: sal/osl/unx/nlsupport.c rev. 1.17
Alex, can you please verify that the fix works as expected in OOo 1.0 ? I would like to mark this issue appropriatly.
Oliver, the euro sign works correctly for me in 1.0. Thanks.
Verified by submitter in OOo 1.0.
Closing issue.
