When you look at the enclosed figure, you can see, that currency is wrong
in the bottom-right corner of the Finnish Locale settings. Previously
encoding ISO-8859-1 was used as a default encoding in Finland and in many
other Western European countries. But when currency changed from franc,
mark etc. to euro, this all changed. In Finland this change happened at
the beginning of year 2002. ISO-8859-15 was selected as default encoding,
because it is supporting Euro sign and ISO-8859-1 is not supporting it.
In enclosing figure it looks like Haiku is trying to show Euro sign using
ISO-8859-1 encoding. Therefore, I would like that Haiku should support
ISO-9958-15 (or Latin-9, as it is also called) as well.
I have enclosed here a Latin-9 patch for STXTTranslator (but I'm not sure,
if this patch is correct). I hope, this should be the first step to right
direction.
