I could not get the text to display when the locale was
set to en_IE.ISO8859-15 (we want the euro symbol).
Have built XFree86 4.4.0 with debug and step thru a lot of
the code I concluded that this patch is required to fix the
locale:

This has been committed and will show up in XFree86 4.5.0.
Thanks for committing the fix.
Can you confirm that you know that this is a correct fix for the
problem? I'm far from an expert on these files.
The UTF-8 and locale code in XFree is complex and undocumented,
I could easily have fixed my problem the wrong way.
I recall I was seeing code behind XutfTextExtents fail to
return any info without the patch - I think it was Xutf8TextExtents.
You will notice that a lot of the other iso8859-* files have the
same error in them if this is a sane fix.
I though it best the share my doubts with you.
I don't really know, as I'm not all that familiar with this either. Perhaps
someone else will chime in.
Marc.
