This is what i have at the moment to achieve the same objective :-

UNICODE="1"
KEYMAP="uk"
KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2 windowkeys"
LEGACY_CHARSET="iso-8859-15"
FONT="LatArCyrHeb-16"

The 'euro2' thing still doesn't generate a Euro symbol, so that needs 
work. I also chose iso-8859-15 instead of iso-8859-1 in the hope of 
getting said Euro-symbol...

Ken Moffat has composed a 'uk-utf8' keymap, but the download link 
doesn't seem to work - Ken, is there any chance of another attempt to 
make this available?

As Alexander said, fonts with a 'psfu' suffix are supposed to be 
unicode-compatible.

Hope that helps, taipan
