Yes. What X really should do (and I've been told this by people much more familiar with X than me) is just read the locale variable and pick the right character set, instead of including a long list of locales in X.

No one's going to object if you submit bugs on the packages with patches to make iso-8859-15 versions. (Remember that iso-8859-15 differs from iso-8859-1 by more than just the Euro.) (Bugs without patches aren't going to be helpful.) But most of us don't have the knowledge or interest to make iso-8859-15 fonts, so we aren't going to do it. (Note that Debian has no decent tools to edit Type 1 or Speedo fonts.) If you're really concerned about it, then you need to fix it yourself, or find someone who can who will. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
