Euro symbol for potato/Kde 2.1.2?



Hi.

I have an up-to-date debian potato box with KDE 2.1.2.

Now, year 2002 approaching, I would like to get the Euro symbol for
input and display (under X 3.3.6).

I found various explanations about how to get debian testing or
unstable to display/accept the Euro symbol but nothing about debian
potato.

Was anybody on this list able to get Euro Symbols onto potato with
KDE? How would I proceed? Any pointers to something like a Mini-HOWTO?

This is were I am:

- The Euro symbol displays alright in Netscape.

- xmodmap shows: keycode  26 = e E EuroSign

- I can input the Euro symbol with AltGr-e in XEmacs using
x-iso8859-15.el and x-iso8859-15.el. (But the generic currency symbol
is shown instead.)

- Everywhere (except Netscape, including XEmacs) the generic currency
symbol is shown instead of the Euro symbol.

- In other applications under X (all I tried) I can input the Euro
symbol with AltGr-Shift-4 (the generic currency symbol is
displayed). Pressing AltGr-e happens nothing.

Any hints?

Many thanks in advance!

Andreas Gösele
