Fine. It should work in ISO8859-15 too.

Can't help you about emacs, I don't know to make it work for me
either...

I don't understand what is this command (althogh I've seen it
few times for other commands...):

LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO-8859-15 xterm

Where do you type that? In my xterm it say:

LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO-8859-15: Command not found.

as I would expect it!

Why you don't use the -fn option of xterm?
In my case I put in my .Xdefault file a line like that:

*VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-16

which set the default font for a xterm opened without a -fn option.
