> Changing LC_ALL to LC_ALL="de_DE.ISO8859-15" (NOT LC_ALL="de_DE.ISO-8859-15 > " !!!) solved the problem for me.
This only works if you start your application from the console (tested with kword and kate). To get a euro symbol in all applications I simply added export LC_ALL="de_DE.ISO8859-15" to my .xsession file. Unfortunaley the tilde symbol doesn't now work any longer in kde :-( Philipp -- Philipp Siegert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pp-services.de
