b. From the dxkeyboard Menu, choose the keyboard map that
matches the locale and keyboard type you are using. The keyboard
type can usually be found on the underside of the keyboard.
The reference page for the language you are using (for example,
Italian
(5)) describes associated keyboard types and maps for
specific locales.
3. Enter the euro currency symbol using the key combination described
for your current locale. If your keyboard supports a Compose sequence,
press the Compose key followed by C and an equal sign (=) to generate
the euro symbol. (The appropriate Compose sequence keys for the euro
symbol are described for various locales in euro
(5).)
The Configure International Software utility available from the SysMan
Menu provides system managers and administrators with an alternative
way to manage locales and keymaps on the system. You must be superuser
to use Configure International Software.
Table 1–1 is organized by country and lists the locales that support the euro
currency symbol and the associated PC-style and VT-style key combination
that will generate a euro symbol. The key combinations in this table are
supported by xkb-format keymaps, which are the default in CDE.
