Ok, I did 's/fi\_FI/de\_DE/g' and indeed, in xterms I now have what I
wanted and the man pages are still English.

But on the console, there's still UK (or US?) keyboard layout and not
German. What did you do differently so that it worked on the console
for you as well?

In X, I get the Euro symbol when pressing AltGr-E with all GTK and
Gnome applications. However I get the generic currency symbol in xterms.

On the console at first I get a solid box when pressing AltGr-E. But
after having loaded euro-test, I get the correct Euro symbol. But it's
not installed. The next time I start GNU/Linux, I have to re-do
euro-test.

I get this on the console as well, but not in X.
