           Summary: Konsole can't show the Euro symbol (again!)
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: Unai.Garro@ee.ed.ac.uk


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.1 
OS:          Linux

It seems that konsole is the only app right now in CVS unable to display the euro symbol. And shows a "?" sign instead. 

I tried several fonts that actually include it like the Bitstream fonts but I couldn't manage to make it show it. Other unicode symbols seem to be shown fine (á,ñ,æ,...), and all other apps using the fonts seem to show the symbol too.

And given xev, the symbol is being transmitted well too.


KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 700860, (241,-162), root:(244,279),
    state 0x2000, keycode 26 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

It sounds a locale problem, but it's strange given that every other app seem to show it right.
