Currency symbols and LyX
|
||
\layout Author

|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
To obtain the main currency symbols with LaTeX, we need to use special packages.
|
||
Here we give a brief description of how to display and print the euro,
|
||
cent, yen and general currency symbols.
|
||
The dollar and the pound need no special trick, so we won't speak about
|
||
them.
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
The euro symbol
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
To print the euro symbol, you need to get the eurofont package, available
|
||
at
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/macros/latex/contrib/supported/eurofont}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in the CTAN.
|
||
You'll need therefore to add to the LaTeX preamble of your LyX document
|
||
the command :
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{eurofont}
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
See the preamble of this document to figure out.
|
||
Then you can always obtain the euro symbol in your printed document by
|
||
typing
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
euro{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode, like this :
|
||
\begin_inset ERT
|
||
status Inlined
|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
euro{}
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
The shape of the symbol in the printed version tends to be better when you
|
||
install the eurosym package too.
|
||
It is available at
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/fonts/eurosym}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in the CTAN.
|
||
Then you declare eurofont with the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
eurosym
|
||
\family default
|
||
option, like this :
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage[eurosym]{eurofont}
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
As a next step, we'll configure LyX to display a WYSIWYM euro symbol.
|
||
First you have to select latin9 screen fonts, as the euro is not in the
|
||
common latin1 encoding.
|
||
In the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Preferences
|
||
\family default
|
||
popup, enter
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
iso8859-15
|
||
\begin_inset Foot
|
||
collapsed true
|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
latin9 is the common name for the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
iso8859-15
|
||
\family default
|
||
encoding, and latin1 for
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
iso8859-1
|
||
\family default
|
||
.
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\family default
|
||
in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Screen\SpecialChar ~
|
||
fonts\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Encoding
|
||
\family default
|
||
field, and of course you'll have to choose fonts that are available on
|
||
your system in this encoding.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
You should properly configure your X server if you want the euro symbol
|
||
directly on your keyboard.
|
||
You can also try the keymap files in LyX :
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
european.kmap
|
||
\family default
|
||
and
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
francais.kmap
|
||
\family default
|
||
should normally support the euro symbol at its usual place.
|
||
Select your keymap in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Language\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Keymap
|
||
\family default
|
||
fields.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
The last step is to tell LyX that the encoding of your document is latin9.
|
||
You do this in the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Format\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Document
|
||
\family default
|
||
popup.
|
||
It requires your LaTeX distribution to have the appropriate
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
latin9.def
|
||
\family default
|
||
file for the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
inputenc
|
||
\family default
|
||
package.
|
||
It is in the recent LaTeX distributions, and is available at
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/macros/latex/unpacked}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in the CTAN.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
If you see an euro symbol here : <20>, and not some horrible glyph, that's
|
||
OK.
|
||
Now try to view the DVI file.
|
||
If LaTeX doesn't complain and the printed version seems fine, you're done.
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
Other currency symbols
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
All the symbols we present here are not available with LaTeX natively.
|
||
But including the eurofont package gives access to all of them.
|
||
\layout Description
|

|
||
The\SpecialChar ~

cent\SpecialChar ~

symbol If your keyboard allows the direct display of the cent symbol
|
||
<20>, great, if not you'll have to type
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textcent{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode, like this :
|
||
\begin_inset ERT
|
||

|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|

|
||
.
|

\layout Description
|
||
|

The\SpecialChar ~

|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
yen{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
, like this :
|
||
\begin_inset ERT
|
||
status Inlined
|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textyen{}
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, or directly <20>.
|
||
\layout Description
|
||
|
||
The\SpecialChar ~
|
||
general\SpecialChar ~
|
||
currency\SpecialChar ~
|
||
symbol It is a horrible mix of cross and circle.
|
||
You cannot obtain it on screen together with the euro symbol, because it
|
||
is corresponding in latin1 to the euro in latin9.
|
||
You have just to type
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textcurrency{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode :
|
||
\begin_inset ERT
|
||
status Inlined
|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textcurrency{}
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
If your screen fonts are latin1, you'll see it here : <20>.
|
||
If they are latin9, you'll have a euro symbol instead.
|
||
\layout Description
|
||
|
||
The\SpecialChar ~
|
||
vertical\SpecialChar ~
|
||
broken\SpecialChar ~
|
||
bar Of course it is not a currency symbol, but it is one
|
||
that you can't obtain with plain LaTeX, but provided when you include eurofont.
|
||
You type
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textbrokenbar{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode :
|
||
\begin_inset ERT
|
||
status Inlined
|
||
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
textbrokenbar{}
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
You'll have it on your keyboard if your X configuration is real good, and
|
||
it will only display with latin1 screen fonts : <20> .
|
||
(With latin9 it is an s with a caron.)
