And now I read this in the Xfree 3.3.3 release notes:

4.2. Bug fixes
[...]       
		add support for iso8859-15, and include a couple of basic
  fonts for iso8859-15

So it seems the guys from xfree have taken care of it already.
What about the "console" people? Is Andries Brouwer working on that?
Yann?
