Well, the ISO-8859-15 charset contains a codepoint for the euro symbol, and the ISO-8859-1 charset does not, so as long as fr_FR maps to ISO-8859-1, it cannot support the euro; and changing it to point to ISO-8859-15 is probably something that needs to be discussed. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
