Thanks a lot, Hans !


Regarding the last question - fonts:

IMHO, Lat2-Terminus16 is a good choice for Romanian, but I think ANY UTF-8 WILL
DO if the following conditions are simultaneously met:

1. Contain glyphs for comma-below characters (NOT cedilla-below) - namely the
following UTF-8 codes:

- 0218, not only 015E (Ș)
- 0219, not only 015F (ș)
- 021A, not only 0162 (Ț)
- 021B, not only 0163 (ț)

Cedilla-below characters are NOT CORRECT for Romanian language (it was just a
historical mistake). Cedilla-below are traditionally used in Turkish...


2. Both graphical (X) AND console fonts (as in runlevel 3) are available by
default.


3. The necessary fonts and keyboard maps are installed in the VERY FIRST STAGE
of a Romanian Fedora installation, so no subsequent install script will produce
a traceback because of these missing elements (especially when performing text
installations).


The main difference between German settings and Romanian settings is that
Romanian language is not fully covered by the ISO/IEC 8859‑2:1998 (Latin2) set
- we need full UTF-8, mainly because the four codes given above.


Best regards,
Răzvan
