Using the Euro currency symbol

To display the Euro symbol on the console:

• For most keyboards, enter <Right-Alt>E (that is, hold down the right-hand <Alt> key and simultaneously press E).

• For British keyboards, enter <Right-Alt>3.

• For United States keyboards, enter <Right-Alt>4.

In the graphical environment, scoterm uses the Euro symbol fonts by default when invoked from an ISO8859-15 locale. Some X applications may require additional arguments to get an ISO8859-15 font. For example, to invoke xterm using the 10x20 fixed-width ISO8859-15 X font, enter the following:

xterm -fn 10x20-15

The default font ``fixed'' is unchanged from the default ISO8859-1 fixed-width font.
