The kbd fix probably does not matter. IIRC the plan for F10 is to kill kbd and
generate console layouts from xkb-config data

It's pretty useless to open bugs on fonts. We've spent a lot of energy kicking
non-modifiable fonts from Fedora and getting recent font tools such as fontforge
in. So interested people should just submit fixed fonts upstream instead of
waiting for someone else to fix them. 

Identifying fonts can be done this way
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts/QA#Identifying_fonts

> - [anaconda] *after* the font issue is fixed, anaconda should set an
appropriate default font for Romanian,

As other explained Fedora default X11 fonts are already fine. So there is
nothing to do X11-side. Terminal-side someone should just fix latarcyrheb which
is the usual default everyone gets. Then no special selection logic will be
needed at all.

> So I'm changing this to distribution again.

This is pretty useless. Fix the problems one by one or at least report them
one-by-one (*upstream*). Multi-issue "distribution" bugs just go nowhere.
