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.

Note With the Sun Secure Global Desktop Native Client, you type the euro character using ALT GR+4. Typing ALT+0128 on the numeric keypad is not supported.

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:

Skip past preformatted text-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 must also support the euro character.
