Sure, you are right: the funny circle is the international currency
symbol used in the font encondings ISO-8859-[0-8] at position 0xA4.
In ISO-8859-15 it is replaced by the euro char.
On my machine:
$ xlsfonts | grep 8859-15 | wc -l
$ 459
$
there are 459 (out of 5349) ISO-8859-15 fonts which should be suffi-
ciant for proper X11 operation. Can somebody please tell me how to
force X11/KDE-3.1 only to use ISO-8859-15 fonts? I think this would
solve my little problem.
