The fileset X11.fnt.ucs.ttf, pulled as a requisite by the installation process, gives<br />

you the <strong>AIX</strong>windows Unicode TrueType Font support. All UTF fonts in <strong>AIX</strong> are<br />

TrueType fonts.<br />

Optionally, you may modify the /etc/environment file to activate, on a system wide<br />

scope, the new Euro currency formatting. Add the following line:<br />

LC_MONETARY=DE_DE@euro<br />

Now you are ready to reboot your system. When the system comes up, and you<br />

are logged in again, you can enter the Euro symbol through the AltGr+e key<br />

combination, and by the aide of the UNIVERSAL input method, you will have<br />

access to several thousand different characters. Just use the Ctrl+Alt+l key<br />

combination, select the character list you want, and enter the characters out of<br />

the pop-up menu using a mouse click. If you are looking for a sample file that is<br />

actually encoded in UTF-8, install the Developers Toolkit for Unicode fileset<br />

bos.loc.adt.unicode and use the vi editor to examine the<br />

/usr/lib/nls/Unicode/samples/ut8.txt file.<br />

10.5.8.3 IBM-1252 Code Set Euro Symbol Support<br />

Within the framework of this test set up (LANG=en_US and German keyboard<br />

software support by swkd_path=/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.lftkeymap), the IBM-1252<br />

locale support for the BOS is already installed. The software keyboard support is<br />

contained in the same fileset as the IBM-1252 locale support: bos.loc.iso.de_DE.<br />

You can verify that the IBM-1252 locale resides on the system. This means the<br />

locale database, the input method, the input method keymap, the<br />

LC_MONETARY locale database, and the 64-bit object modules are installed:<br />

# ls -l /usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252* | cut -c55-<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252.im -> /usr/lib/nls/loc/sbcs.im<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252.imkeymap<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252@euro<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252@euro__64<br />

/usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.IBM-1252__64<br />

In case the German keyboard would not have been attached and configured you<br />

may first have to verify that the bos.loc.iso.xx_XX fileset of the desired locale is<br />

on the system. (xx_XX refers to one of the locale identifier as listed in Table 51 on<br />

page 256 modified to the extent that the first two letters are converted to lower<br />

case.) Use the lslpp command to accomplish this task. The lslpp command<br />

returns:<br />

# lslpp -l "bos.loc.iso.*"<br />
