From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016 Description of problem: The /etc/sysconfig/i18n on my System looks like this: LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="de_DE.UTF-8:de_DE@euro:de_DE:de" SYSFONT="lat9w-16" If I open a xterm I can't input the eurosign (€) with the shortcut [AltGr] + [E]. The same problem is present in the console (e.g. in Runlevel 3). If I start a konsole (KDE) or gnome-terminal the aforementioned shortcut works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.3.0-2.90.43 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set your /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n as aforementioned 2. start a xterm 3. enter the shortcut [AltGr] + [E] Actual Results: The xterm returns a space character. Expected Results: The xterm should return the eurosign (�). Additional info: I've fixed the problem for me, after I've added the following two lines to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm: *faceName: MiscFixed *faceSize: 10
The font you were using did not contain the Euro symbol obviously. The solution to that is to choose a font that does have the Euro symbol of course, which is what your solution seems to have been. This isn't a bug. Closing NOTABUG.
