Lets start ;-)

Configure locales with some iso-8859-15 of your choice (us I assume,
you'll find the options in /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz).

       echo 'lang@euro ISO-8859-15' >>  /etc/locale.gen
       locale-gen
       echo 'LANG=lang@euro' >> /etc/environment
       echo '. /etc/environment' >> /etc/profile

Do the last line only if /etc/environment nowhere implemented yet.
Afterwards logout/login for make that working.

For console:
    echo SCREEN_FONT lat0-08 >> /etc/console-tools/config
    # if you like the cent as well (unproved ;-) )
    echo 'echo altgr keycode 46 = cent | loadkeys -' >>/etc/init.d/keymap.sh
    # then loading them ...
    /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh restart
    /etc/init.d/keymap.sh restart

For X11:
   apt-get install 'xfonts.*transcoded'
   xset fp rehash

Now you have to change the programs:
    #Xterm: in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm add the following line
    *font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
    # forother programs like Mutt in ~/.muttrc, Emacs in ~/.Xresources
    # you have to change the fonts extra. Probably you like a tool as
    # gtkfontsel to make your choice easier.
