ISO8859-15, iso8859-15 - A character encoding system
(codeset) for Albanian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish,
Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French,
Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish
Gaelic, Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, and Swedish
ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9) is very similar to ISO 8859-1
(Latin-1) except for the inclusion of the euro currency
sign (C=) and several other characters. Latin-9 is supported
mainly as a means to supply fonts for Latin-1 languages
that need to display and print the euro character.
Font support for the euro character is enabled through the
fonts supplied for ISO 8859-15 and a set of codeset converters
that convert data to ISO8859-15 from other encoding
formats (such as UTF-8 and some PC code pages) that
also support the euro. Keyboard entry of the euro character
is supported by keymaps in XKB format when used with
the Latin-9 (.ISO8859-15) or Unicode (.UTF-8) locales.
Refer to euro(5)for information about the euro character,
Unicode(5) for information about the UTF-16, UCS-4, and
UTF-8 encoding formats, and code_page(5) for information
about PC code pages. The iconv_intro(5) reference page
provides an introduction to codeset converters.
Note
The euro currency sign was not defined in Unicode codesets
before Version 2.1 of the Unicode standard, so implementations
of Unicode encoding formats based on prior versions
of the standard do not include the character.

Font Support for ISO 8859-15 [Toc] [Back]
The operating system includes only bitmap fonts for the
ISO8859-15 codeset. Although no PostScript fonts are
included for this codeset, you can set up a generic print
filter to substitute in a print job the appropriate
PostScript font glyphs available in fonts provided for
other codesets. Refer to i18n_printing(5) and wwpsof(8)
for more information.
100dpi Bitmap Fonts
The following 100dpi bitmap fonts are available for the
ISO8859-15 codeset. Unless the point size options are
explicitly specified in parentheses following the font
