I think the problem is the font.

It works fine using an iso8859-* in xterm, by example:
$ xterm -font '-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'

Works fine with Terminal too.

looks good, I use:
~$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.ISO8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.ISO8859-15"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.ISO8859-15"

LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-15
