[ILUG] tip of the day...getting a euro working in X

 First, get a euro-aware font. According to the ever-helpful Caolan, this
should do the biz:

% xlsfonts |grep iso8859-15

 Next, setup xmodmap, to map the euro to altgr-4:

% xmodmap -e 'keycode 13 = 4 dollar currency onequarter'

 And, voila: ¤ to your hearts' content.

 BTW, HP rock. Only place I could find this:

 Dunno how to get the cent symbol though...
