en_US@euro, en_GB@euro etc. don't make sense, those are locales where LC_MONETARY currency is EUR, which is not true for US or GB. As for en_US.ISO-8859-15 etc. locales: a) you can create them yourself, just run localedef(1) to create them b) there is en_US.UTF-8 locale which is the way to go (but admitedly not all apps are UTF-8 ready yet) |
Description of Problem: There is no (as of glibc-2.2.4-19.3) en_US locale that uses the iso-8859-15 charset. This is necessary for Euro support. There are such locales for some EU countries, but I guess that people in the US might also want to use the Euro symbol ;-) It would be necessary to create more @euro locales, such as en_US@euro and en_GB@euro, or to make the western locales use the iso-8859-15 charset instead of the iso-8859-1 charset. Or maybe create en_US.iso-8859-15 and similar locales? Don't know what is the best fix, but it is currently cumbersome to try to use Euro font support. Any solution would also require updating /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.{alias,dir} accordingly. For the time being I'm using the en_IE@euro locale, but it's far from being the best solution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.2.4-19.3 Actual Results: Cannot use Euro symbol with a en_US locale. Expected Results: Be able to use the Euro symbol in a en_US locale Additional Information:
