What did you do in Woody (that's the version, right?) to make it work?
It's not working in my Woody :-(
Maybe you installed some font package. Hm. "apt-cache search bdf"
doesn't turn up fonts, only utilities.

It means to change. It also has some connotations about how
fine-grained it is, but I'm sure that http://www.dict.org/ (there's
also an Emacs interface called dict-web.el I think) has the full
story.

I suggest to pretend it does. Then print some umlauts and see if
they come out. Then print the euro sign and see what you get.
