Apart from the fact that you need new fonts and new syscons/xmodmap
entries, why does Linux need a patch ? (I'm not connected right now so I
can't go to the site).
Anyway, we already have a ISO-8859-15 (aka Latin9) font for syscons in the

Modified files:
share/syscons/fonts INDEX.fonts
Added files:
share/syscons/fonts iso15-thin-8x16.fnt
Log:
New ISO-8859-15 thin font. It includes some missing characters from 8859-1
(like OE & oe diphthong) and the Euro character. It also includes the VTxx
semi-graphic characters.
--------
I plan to upgrade the fr.iso syscons keyboard map to put the Euro code on
AltGr-E (unless there is any objection ?).
