Usage

Description

This attribute specifies the keycode mapping required by the application to support the euro character. Most euro-compliant applications currently use iso8859-15. If in doubt, you should check your X application's documentation to see which method you should use.

To use the euro character with Secure Global Desktop the client device must be capable of entering the character.

To display the euro character, you must configure your application to use an iso8859-15 font. Add one of the following to the Arguments For Command attribute:

-fn 5x7euro
-fn 6x10euro
-fn 6x13euro
-fn 6x13boldeuro
-fn 7x13euro
-fn 7x13boldeuro
-fn 7x14euro
-fn 7x14boldeuro
-fn 8x13euro
-fn 8x13boldeuro
-fn 8x16euro
-fn 9x15euro
-fn 9x15boldeuro
-fn 10x20euro
-fn 12x24euro

This ensures the application will use the iso8859-15 fonts supplied with Secure Global Desktop. You can use your own fonts if you wish. However, to display the euro character they must be iso8859-15 compliant.

The application server in use must also support the euro character. The table shows the level of support for the euro character at time of writing.

Note On HP-UX systems, only CDE applications support the euro character. In addition, users should be configured for the iso8859-15 locale and run either the ksh or csh shells.
