 That's a mad big sig there declan...

 Anyway. You need to use an iso-8859-15 font, in your application. It's
the one with euro support.

 Next, you have to set it up...something like;

xmodmap -e 'keycode 26 = e E currency'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 54 = c C cent'

 should set it up so that pressing Alt-GR and E will give euro, and Alt-GR
and C will give a cent symbol...you should be able to run these from the
~/.xsession script, which is run when you log in.
