EuroSign is right. You probably aren't using a font that does ISO8859-15.

Where did you get this keymap? I don't see anything like it in the Debian 
files. But I think the problem is with the type="THREE_LEVEL" stuff. I don't 
think your keymap is done properly.

Looking at the keymaps that use ISO_Level3_Shift, I think you've got a bad 
keymap which has confused you. Of course, it works, but it's done in the 
opposite way of other keymaps.
