Eval (C-x C-e behing the expression) the following expressions and try `C-u C-x =': (insert (string (make-char 'latin-iso8859-1 164))) (insert (string (make-char 'latin-iso8859-15 164))) > What font do I have to choose if I want to get a euro sign? E.g. -*-fixed-medium-r-*--*-140-*-iso8859-1. Emacs will automatically select iso8859-15 when displaying iso8859-15 characters.
