Hello Thomas,
from what I undertsand the euro symbol is definitely ANSI symbol 0128
(as opposed to ASCII 128, without the zero), but it depends on an
individual system whether it is recognized or not
on any system where symbols 0127 to 0255 are recognized then alt-0128
should give you the euro symbol, but alt-128 wil give you letter C with
a curl below it (Ç)
hope this helps

I am sorry, but I do not know how to solve your problem.
Fonts are set to iso-8859-15 variants?
On my box, using Windowmaker, it works.
