+		<para>
+			The default console font has been changed to <systemitem>eurlatgr</systemitem> in Fedora&nbsp;22. The new font has the same typeface as the previously used <systemitem>latarcyrheb-sun16</systemitem> font, but supports a broader range of characters from the Latin and Greek alphabets as well as some commonly used symbols. Users should therefore notice less replacement characters displayed on the console when texts using non-ASCII characters are being displayed.
+		</para>
+		<para>
+			The <systemitem>eurlatgr</systemitem> font does not support Arabic, Cyrillic and Hebrew characters; messages written in these alphabets will continue to use the <systemitem>latarcyrheb-sun16</systemitem> font.
+		</para>
+		<para>
+			Full documentation detailing supported code pages and characters is available in the font's <ulink url="http://git.altlinux.org/people/legion/packages/kbd.git?p=kbd.git;a=blob;f=data/consolefonts/README.eurlatgr">README file</ulink>.
