I have the same Problem here, as a german speaking geek I refuse to use
de_DE as my locale. On the Other hand my usual en_US has no Euro Alias. Of
course I can make one, thats what I did. On the other hand, I prefer to tag
everything with ASCII oder LATIN1 unless I actually use one of the extended
chars.

On my System I have only "lucidus" and "thryomanes" as ISO8859-15 Font I
think I need to check my fontpath and xfs setting.
