euro symbol in xterm (fvwm)

I'm testing UTF8 performance on my Etch machine. Everything seems fine with
one exception: the Euro symbol doesn't display in my xterms (under fvwm).
If I go with iceweasel to
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/multilingual1.html
a Euro symbol is nicely displayed. If I copy and paste the symbol into a
file, and run od on it, I get the octal sequence 342 202 254.
This is presumably the UTF8 code for the Euro symbol. I can also generate
the code by feeding groff the code "\(Eu". Unlike iceweasel, though, the
xterm doesn't display the Euro symbol. (In general, I think it displays
only those symbols that were defined in ISO8859-1, although I am testing
the UTF8 codes for those symbols. It does not correctly display the
ISO8859-1 codes unless I convert them to UTF8 with iconv.)
Xorg.0.log shows some errors about non-existing directories under
/usr/share/fonts/X11, and then sets FontPath to:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
The problem is likely in my old ~/.fvwm2rc, which shows:
Style * Font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
There is no adobe-times font on my system, so I don't know what font is
being substituted, or which font I should substitute.
So how do I find a default font for my xterms that will display the UTF8
Euro symbol? Thanks.
