grrr... what is the story with gnome-terminal? it just wont use any 
iso-8859-15 fonts. i've set it to 

-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15

which exists.. cause i used the gnome font selector from within gnome 
preferences to pick it. but it makes absolutely no difference.

xterm is perfectly happy with this font...

incidentally, for console euro support in redhat, edit sysconfig/i18n 
and put it in:

   SYSFONT=lat0-16
   SYSFONTACM=iso15

(see http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Euro-Char-Support/x43.html)

Finally, how do you get AltGr+e to give ¤ and shift+altgr+e to give ¢
in XFree? (xkb answer please, not xmodmap :)) i tried chucking in the
values from /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/de relating to e, E, EuroSign and
Cent into /usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/gb to create a
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/ie but not much joy. (lots of other key codes
stop working) :(
