I found the solution to this one and - lo and behold - it's working in
XEmacs too!
In /etc/sysconfig/i18n I put in all lines a '.ISO-8859-15' at the end:
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 as exemple.
Then I even get the Euro sign in console. For XEmacs I had to add a few
lines to the /etc/emacs/site-start-xemacs.el
