To access the fonts containing the Euro symbol, you must set
the internal and console codesets to ISO8859-15 using the
International Settings Manager.

Determine your current console codeset setting.
It is the second setting listed in the file /etc/default/codeset.
Start the International Settings Manager by selecting

on the desktop, or by entering the following at the
command-line prompt:

From the scroll lists on the International Settings Manager
main window, select a language and a keyboard.
From the Settings menu, select Codeset...Internal,
then select ``ISO8859-15''.

If your current console codeset starts with ``ISO8859'', accept the
default of ``ISO8859-15''.

select ``IBM858''.
Click on OK.
Exit the International Settings Manager and reboot the machine.
The new system settings take effect after you reboot.
