Problems withcapital german umlauts on console 1-6

[Sierk Bornemann]

Hi!

I'm running SuSE Linux 7.3.
Default language is "de_DE@euro", eg. "german". Default console font is
the recommended one lat9u-16.psfu.gz to be able to use the Euro curreny
symbol.
Fine so far. I can type german umlauts as well as the Euro currency
symbol. BUT: All german umlauts? No. Only the lower ones, no capital
umlauts and no "ß" (Ess-Zett). Therefore I get some blockgraphic symbols
onto the screen. That might be tolerable so far, but some german text on
the console does indeed make the use of these umlauts especially the "ß"
(Ess-Zett), so such a text is difficult to read, because of the occuring
blockgraphics. This occurs on all virtual text-consoles 1 to 6.

What I tried so far:

I made a rpm -Vf `locate lat9u-16.psfu.gz` to check, if the font might
be broken -- the result: OK!

I changed to a font equal to ISO 8859-1 -- same problem.

I removed the whole kbd-RPM-Package, which consists of all console fonts
at all and reinstalled it -- no chance, the problem's still there.

I asked the support of SuSE -- no idea.

So what can it be, and what can I do to solve it? Any idea?
