On Sun, 31 May 2009 21:10:25 +0100, "Graham Bentley" wr= ote: > Sorry to keep banging on about this but does anyone actually > have uk pound signs working in 7.2? What font and keymap > are you using? Accidentally - because I never intended it - I have a UK Pound sign: =A3 Settings: LC_ALL is set to en_US.ISO8859-1 In /etc/rc.conf: keymap=3D"german.iso" keyrate=3D"fast" font8x14=3D"iso-8x14" font8x16=3D"iso-8x16" font8x8=3D"iso-8x8" In X: Nothing changed, except stuff in xorg.conf that hasn't something to do with fonts 'n stuff. Tested setting: Editor GNotepad+ (port gnotepad+, run as gnp) Keypress: Alt-Gr + Shift + 3 Shift + 3 -> =A7 Alt-Gr + 3 -> =B3 Alt-Gr + Shift + 3 -> =A3 This is, as I mentioned before, obviously not intended. I'm using german settings for the keyboard. Note that I don't use -15 (instead of -1) so I don't have the Euro currency symbol in gnp, but I have it in OpenOffice (Alt-Gr + E). Maybe it works with -15, too. Further testing: Works in X-Terminal (standard xterm) Works in Sylpheed (Gtk 2) Works in GNotepad+ (Gtk 1) Works in OpenOffice 3.0.0 M9/9358 (german version) Maybe you want to try it. Here are some Pound signs for copy & paste: =A3 =A3 =A3 =A3 =A3 =A3 =A3 =A3= =A3. Use them wisely and in peace. :-) > And, what actually is the process for reporting > bugs or getting help with problem like this. I don't think it's a "problem", it's just a "strangely appearing circumstance of misconfiguration". :-) --=20 Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
