Euro sign (ISO-8859-15) and a swiss german keyboard



Hello all

I managed it to install a swiss german keyboard to my poserbook console
and X11 environment.

I use a de_CH / ISO-8859-1 combination - I suppose (not 100% sure) - but
when I run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales', there is no other combination for
ISO-8859-x.

I loaded (with modconf) the two NLS modules ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15;
my LANG=de_CH (set in etc/environment); locale -a shows de_CH,
de_CH.iso88591 and C.

Nevertheless on the console I can produce the euro sign (modified the sg-
latin1.kmap.gz). But in the X11-kde-environmet modifing the macintosh/
de_CH file dosen't help.

I played with 

locale.alias <- de_CH.iso885915 de_CH.ISO-8859-15 
locale.gen/locale-gen <- de_CH ISO-8859-15
etc/environment <- de_CH.iso885915 or de_CH.ISO-8859-15

=> NO EFFECT in X11 (as far as I could check)
=> EFFECT in console: problem console font : setting up general console
font ... /etc/init.d/rcS: line 1: de_CH.ISO-8859-15: command not found

Does anyone of you have an idea how I can use the charset ISO-8859-15 in
combination with my swiss german keyboard in an X11-kde-environment (in
order to produce an euro sign)?



Thanks in advance for helping me
