so here is how this idea would work I think.

blackbox/styles
blackbox/styles-8859-2
blackbox/styles-jp # forgot the right encoding
blackbox/styles-kr
blackbox/styles-zh

which would all be basically the same, just with different font settings in the
styles.

another option would be to keep the blackbox tar as it is but offer additional
encoding tars which have styles with proper data for each area and would
install as described above.

Personally I do not care as long as the default install is unchanged for people
not using a special encoding.

Other ideas?  How do other wms solve this?
