      Hello Paul,              On 03 Dec 12 at 14:12, you wrote to me:               NB>> Actually, it didn't work. The CHRS kludge showed up right, but        NB>> Euro characters were still showing up as high ascii blocks. I        NB>> think I may have a fix now though, definitely for incoming. As        NB>> for myself trying to type an Alt-0128 for a Euro sign: ¶€               PQ> Yerk! It doesn't look anything like it here. Just a graphic vertical        PQ> double-bar border block with a single horizontal bar joiner, and a        PQ> character that looks like an uppercase "C" with some sort of pigs tail        PQ> on the bottom.              Yeah, it definitely doesn't look right. I keep tinkering with it now and       again. This time I'm trying all UTF-8. I've redone my locale on my Gentoo box       to en_US.UTF-8 and am trying to import and export with Golded using UTF-8.       This should be an "e" with two dots over it: ë              It doesn't look right when I type it here in Golded, but it works when I type       it in my linux console. Maybe it will export it properly? If not, back to the       drawing board, or wait till someone that knows what the heck they're doing       chimes in. :)               NB>> Not sure how it looks after it's exported, but it's a high ascii        NB>> block with a ~, and when I hit enter after it, along came an @        NB>> sign after that. :)               PQ> Give it up and just use a "Euro" string like the rest of us. :)              I very well may just end up doing that. lol              Regards,       Nick              --- SBBSecho 2.20-Linux        * Origin: thePharcyde_ telnet://bbs.pharcyde.org (Wisconsin) (1:154/10)    |
