Interesting discussion (those following along at home may find it at http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=m3bs2yg0wt.fsf%40quimbies.gnus.org&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dgnu.emacs.gnus Unfortunately, it wasn't directly helpful to this question -- I don't want to install half a gig of fonts to get a single character :-) However, later experimentation showed that installing: xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-100dpi-transcoded solved this particular problem -- for X. Still is a problem in an xterm, though. > John> In a text console, gnus always renders this as a question mark. > > For terminals, you need to know your terminal type (ie. the TERM > environment variable).

Really weird, as it's an 8859-1 character. I don't even know what the 8859-15 charset is for... -- John ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

I have a key that generates Multi_key, and that works in many apps including Emacs. Latin-9 is not the same as Latin-1 with Euro. The two charsets differ by six or seven characters. The Euro is only the most important one. Also, Latin-9 does not have more characters than Latin-1, just different ones. For example, the Latin-1 "currency sign" character (also known as dart or rocket) has been replaced with Euro. -- Ambibibentists unite! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
