Setting the ISO8859-15 codeset

To access the fonts containing the Euro symbol, you must set the internal and console codesets to ISO8859-15 using the International Settings Manager. As root:

1. Determine your current console codeset setting. It is the second setting listed in the file /etc/default/codeset.

2. Start the International Settings Manager by selecting System Administration System International Settings Manager on the desktop, or by entering the following at the command-line prompt:
   
   scoadmin international

3. From the scroll lists on the International Settings Manager main window, select a language and a keyboard.

4. From the Settings menu, select Codeset...Internal, then select ``ISO8859-15''. Click on OK.

5. From the Settings menu, select Codeset...Console.

   If your current console codeset starts with ``ISO8859'', accept the default of ``ISO8859-15''. If you have a PS/2^®-style keyboard (that is, your current console codeset is ``IBM850''), select ``IBM858''.

   Click on OK.

6. Exit the International Settings Manager and reboot the machine. The new system settings take effect after you reboot.
