for me, the easiest way to setup utf-8 with Turkish support is running /usr/bin/utf8 script from fonty-rg package. It runs consolechars with LatCyrGr-16 by defualt. This should work for most of the European languages including Euro sign. Now, both fonty and fonty-rg comes with comprehensive font files, but I would be surprised if any of them include all of Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic etc. I'd never used dynafont either. I am ccing this to the list as someone may be more experienced because I normally use latin1 and only switch to utf-8/latin5 only when needed. Best, -alphan
