Euro disappeared

Hello list, first the good news: in OO I still have the Euro. But: After upgrading my SuSe 8.1 to KDE 3.2 and applying all the current updates from ftp.suse.com (including glibc, etc) I had to experience that on console and KDE-apps the Euro disappeared. The lang setting is de_DE@euro, so everything should be ok. But that's not the case ! Has anybody else this problem or even a solution? Regards, Udo
