Displaying a euro sign in different terminals...
Hey ho,
The subject is slightly inadequate, but I couldn't think of anything
better.
In xfce4-terminal, I use the Artwiz "smooth" font. I can use a euro
sign just fine there; the same goes for gnome-terminal or anything else
GTK.
The font is listed in the relevant preferences dialog as "Smooth" (the
same font is also listed as "smoothansi.de" and "smoothansi.se", but
those don't seem to match the keys as they are arranged on my keyboard).
For some reason, I'm unable to have aterm use that font and be able to
display a euro sign. That's not the end of the world, but I just don't
understand. Whatever outcome of "xlsfonts | grep smooth" I try to use, I
always get the default currency sign.
Would someone know what it is that enables the terminals that use GTK
to display a character that aterm can't display, although it uses the
exact same font?
Cheers,
Tom
