Hmmm, informations about this are *very* contradictory and I must admit that I cannot manage decisions with these informations. So, please, people using cyrillic languages and input/output methods, end up with a definitive solution for these problems. This basically involves you (Anton), Ognyan as Bulgarian translator, Eugeniy as Ukrainian translator and Nikolai as Russian translator (no news from the Serbian translator for a while). I can barely test cyrillic languages installs from time to time and check that *display* is correct (mostly because I still have some things left from my Russian classes....enough for barely read and understand Russian and some Ukrainian and Bulgarian as well as read Serbian)....However, when it comes at *input* methods, I'm totally ignorant. So, as usual, folks, PLEASE TEST D-I IN YOUR LOCAL LANGUAGE. OK, I now geeks prefer English for some reasons I personnaly tend to think are bullshit, but please make at least some efforts..If you already do these efforts, congratulations....:-) About these problems, the solution is up to you all. You all have commit access to D-I repository..:-) > By the way languagechooser apt-installs console-cyrillic and > xfonts-terminus for ru but not for uk. Sure of that. If I read and understand properly, it should. > > It also unnecessarily anna-installs bterm-unifont for Greek. Well, about that specific point, I know we have someone in the team who takes care of this and follows everything properly (please do not misunderstand me....I do not say that no-one cares about cyrillic languages). So, all decisions about Greek input/output are Konstantinos Margaritis only. I will revert all changes supposedly related to Greek which are made without his approval. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
