Hello Jesper,

How about on the console, or in an xterm? Can you type those
characters there?

You may also want to set

    export LC_CTYPE=da_DK.ISO8859-1 (or -15 for Euro) in a sh-style
    
shell, or

    setenv LC_CTYPE da_DK.ISO8859-1 (or -15) in a csh-style shell
    
in your shells environment file (often .login or .profile).

Oh, and make sure that you actually use iso or iso15 fonts; I have
these lines in my /etc/rc.conf:

font8x14="iso15-8x14"
font8x16="iso15-8x16"
font8x8="iso15-8x8"

HTH and HAND
