I viewed the output in the debugger window of PhpEdit,
which displayed the universal currency symbol "¤" after
iconv'ing with iso-8859-15 - should have viewed with 
Mozilla first... :)

Well yes, but it raises another obstacle :)
Is the EUR symbol the only difference between
latin1 and latin9?  It seems at a quick glance.

Thanks, I'll try at least :)

Is l0t3k still developing ext/i18n?
While google'ing I read something that he also implemented an 
ICU parser.  pearfr-org is not reachable and the my userland

However - thanks a lot again!
