Hi,
first install the euro-support packages.
To enable the euro symbol on console you have to:
Edit in /etc/console-tools (depending on what you have installed - the
console tools or kbd) the config file and add:
SCREEN_FONT_vc1=lat0-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat0-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat0-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat0-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat0-16
SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat0-16
Edit you /etc/environment like this:
LANG=de_DE@euro
LC_ALL=de_DE@euro
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LANGUAGE=de-DES@euro
LC_TYPE=de_DE@euro
Install the kde package that supports German language. Choose
iso-8859-15 and set it extra in some applications like kedit.
This is only a short descriptions of what I have done to enable the
euro-symbol. For more details see the euro-support packages.
Have fun and success.
Oliver
