Euro currency symbol is not displayed in Linux build.

[Erik van der Poel]

The Linux version currently only supports Latin-1 and Japanese. I don't think
this is an M5 stopper...

Do you have a font with a Euro glyph on your Linux system?

Comment 3

[Erik van der Poel]

Yes, there are 2 fonts with the euro. Both 13 pixels in height, one medium,
one bold. Encoding iso8859-15.

Putting on [PP] radar.

[chris hofmann]

not sure this is a pp bug..  shows the same for me
on seamonkey windows and linux builds of early june...
and 4.5 too...

I see a bullet list with the following values
     &euro: €
     &#8364: €
     &#x20ac: ?x20AC;
     &#x20AC: ?x20AC;
     &#X20aC: ?X20AC;
     &#X20AC: ?X20AC;

is this a test page problem?

unsetting the target milestone until teruko or someone figures
this out....

Chofmann,  Win95 still works for me.  This is a known problem on Linux only.
On your Windows boxes, have you installed the updated fonts from MS or
installed the Bitstream Cyberbit font?

4.5 does not have support for hex numbered character references, so we don't
expect the last 4 cases to display the Euro glyph.

I verified this in 6-14-09 Linux build.
