I am really stuck getting the EURO-Symbol shown and writ= ten in Emacs.

My Emacs-version is: GNU Emac 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1= .2600) on a MS Windows XP (SP2) system (bad habbit, I know ;-) )

For= displaying the symbol, I first tried using the ms-latn-ex.el package by th= is commands .emacs:
a) (autoload 'ms-latn-ex "latin-extra") and
b) (= set-face-font 'default '"latin-extra")

My second try was to use the = following (also in .emacs):
(set-w32-system-coding-system 'iso-8859-15)<= br>
Both approaches ran without errors when emacs starts.
Even so, wh= at I am shown in emacs is: \200 for the EURO-Symbol inserted by an regular = text-editor.

Secondly I tryd something to write the EURO-Symbol by f= ollowing function:
(defun insert-euro ()
  "insert the euro sign= "
  (interactive "*")
  (insert (string (make-char 'latin-i= so8859-15 164))))

It actually shows me an EURO-Symbol, but a regular= text-editor is > showing me the following: =8E=A4

Please help me, I really spend h= ours an that problem and did'nt fix anything.

Thanks so much in adva= nce,


Juergen Melzer
