Currency symbols and LyX
|
||
\layout Author
|
||
|
||
by Adrien Rebollo
|
||
\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 obtain the euro symbol by typing
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
euro{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode, like this :
|
||
\latex latex
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
euro{}
|
||
\latex default
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
There is another problem with the euro symbol : it is not included in the
|
||
latin1 character encoding.
|
||
So to have the glyph displayed on screen you should select iso8859-15 screen
|
||
fonts.
|
||
In the
|
||
\family sans
|
||
Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
|
||
Preferences
|
||
\family default
|
||
popup, you enter
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
iso8859-15
|
||
\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.
|
||
You also need to choose an appropriate keymap file :
|
||
\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 my tetex-1.0 distribution, and I have understood that it is provided
|
||
by the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
latex2html
|
||
\family default
|
||
program, which you can grab here :
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
\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
|
||
|
||
The cent symbol
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
The cent symbol is currently not available with LaTeX natively.
|
||
You need to have the package wasysym, which should be included in your
|
||
distribution.
|
||
You can get it at
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/macro/latex/contrib/supported/wasysym}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in the CTAN.
|
||
Then you insert the command :
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
usepackage{wasysym}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in your LaTeX preamble.
|
||
If your keymap allows the direct display of the cent symbol, great, if
|
||
not you'll have to type
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
cent{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode, like this :
|
||
\latex latex
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
cent{}
|
||
\latex default
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
The yen symbol
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
For the yen, it is the same story as above, but with the package amssymb,
|
||
or amsfonts, available at
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{/fonts/amsfonts}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
in the CTAN, and typing
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
yen{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
, like this :
|
||
\latex latex
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
yen{}
|
||
\latex default
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
The general currency symbol
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
You know, it is the horrible little mix of cross and circle.
|
||
You cannot obtain it on screen together with the euro symbol, because it
|
||
is the latin1 character replaced by the euro in latin9.
|
||
But you can always obtain it by including the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
wasysym
|
||
\family default
|
||
package in the preamble, and by typing
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
currency{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode :
|
||
\latex latex
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
currency{}
|
||
\latex default
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
The vertical broken bar
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
Of course it is not a currency symbol, but it is one that you can't obtain
|
||
with plain LaTeX, so let's tell something about it.
|
||
You must include the
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
wasysym
|
||
\family default
|
||
package, and type
|
||
\family typewriter
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
brokenvert{}
|
||
\family default
|
||
in TeX mode :
|
||
\latex latex
|
||
|
||
\backslash
|
||
brokenvert{}
|
||
\latex default
|
||
.
|
||
\layout Section
|
||
|
||
Conclusion
|
||
\layout Standard
|
||
|
||
Here we are, view the DVI, and complain to
|
||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{adrien.rebollo@gmx.fr}
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
if you run into problems.
