Description Telsa Gwynne 2002-03-25 21:39:05 UTC
Description of Problem:

There is no en_GB@euro in locale_config. This seems minor but rapidly becomes
incredibly annoying!

locale_config-0.3.3-2

I expect you will mark this as a dup of bug #56301 but I think it's important
enough to be separate. The euro is here now, and even people in the UK (which
didn't sign up to it) have a need for the symbol. I have the symbol on RH 7.2
after following the Debian Euro-HOWTO, and I want it back :)

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-03-25 21:45:11 UTC
An en_GB@euro (or en_GB.iso-8859-15) locale, would be a C library
issue, not a locale_config issue; locale_config just reads what
available from the C library.

locale_config could conceivably do something like set OUTPUT_CHARSET
to ISO-8859-15, but that would, indeed be a dup of bug 56301. :-)

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2002-03-25 22:34:16 UTC
I've added {en_US,en_GB,da_DK,sv_SE}.ISO-8859-15 for the upcoming
glibc-2.2.5-28.

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2002-03-29 00:38:00 UTC
I have just added the Euro to X on AltGr 4 for gb/uk after chatting with Alan,
and both of us surfing for relevant standards.  Build 4.2.0-6.52 and later
will have this patch.  Also added for Hungarian, Turkish, US international,
and a few others.

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2002-03-29 10:03:32 UTC
Wonder how are you adding Euro to Hungarian (unless in UTF-8 charset),
as there is no character set covering Hungarian letters and Euro AFAIK
(similarly for Czech, Slovak, Polish, etc.).
