Problems with charset-change in X

[Georg Koss <g.koss@eunet.at>]

Hello again!

I want to change my charset from iso8859-1 to iso8859-15.
Box runs Woody with XF4.1

Therefore I changed /etc/environment and /etc/profile to de_AT@euro
iso8859-15 and with console-tools I was successful to see the euro-sign.

But with X (:-/)
(BTW german-keyboards ... worked ok with iso8859-1)

What I did (following a FAQ adapted from HP's recommendations):

1.) apt-get install 'xfonts.*transcoded'
2.) Gnome-Control-Center - Themes: choose a font with gtkfontsel with
 filter iso8859-15
3.) For XTerm in /etc/X11/app.defaults/XTerm following line:
     *font:   -masc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*c-*-iso8859-15
4.) restarting X and  
	   xset fp rehash

After that done, I still have no euro-sign with xterm, and I get the 
following error when evoking emacs or a application using GDB:
   locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C

BTW: locale gives:
LANG=de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15
LC_CTYPE="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_TIME="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_PAPER="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_NAME="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT@euro.ISO-8859-15"
LC_ALL=
 

Any help and hints are warmley appreciated

TIA
