Description of problem: The Candian French (French Canada) keyboard needs the assignment of the Euro symbol to alt-chr e. The high long dash character, assigned to alt-car comma is currently shot high dash and needs to be mapped to the long (full character width) high dash. The high short dash ¯ is incorrectly assigned to the alt-car comma key. It should be assigned to the alt-char period key, to match keyboard layouts. Note: UBUNTU and another debian based distribution, provides the same Canada French definition, but augments it by allowing one to assigning the alt-5 or alt-e key to represent the EURO symbol, If you implement the euro symbol, as a static mapping, as per this bug report request, make the definition a static alt-char E. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All fedora linux versions from 6 onwards How reproducible: Obtain Canada French keyboard mapping, and try to display / print the Euro, high dash or high long dash. Microsoft XP for the Canada French definition does it correctly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
A correction here should also be ported to Red Hat linux.
With FC8, the Euro problem has disappeared. The keyboard settings allow for setting the euro to one of several keys. Outstanding is the high dash symbol. By the way, in repetiting what I indicated above, it is on the Canada French keyboard on the comma key. and displays as "¯" The alt-Gr on the "," key alt-chr prints as multiple characters non moving space characters. They do not move the cursor to the right. "" There are 7 characters between the "". Should it be a _-¯
Apparently, there is something in this bug remaining which is wrong in F8.
Hello Matej When the Canada French keyboard is chosen, because the keyboard description was not updated for several years, the euro symbol was assigned the the E key. In one Fedora session, on a second or third tab, it is possible to assign the Euro to one of several keys. (The 5 key, the E key, etc). The outstanding characters. The high minus or high dash, needs to be assigned to alt-chr comma. I use the Canada Quebec keyboard, (Quebec is a french province in Canada), and that high minus is used for some purposes. Leslie
Thank you for the "¯". It now works. Leslie
