Regarding comment #4:

Bill, I don't think this historical bug should be assigned to kbd, since it will
go to a dead end - probably be forgotten. Here's why:

As far as I know, the keyboard maps for Romanian were recently fixed and should
land in Fedora from upstream. Please see
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13277

In the meantime, *until* the kbd fix shows up, we need to fix other aspects,
involving more than one component of the Fedora distro - in this logical order:

- [fonts] make sure that all Unicode fonts that can be used for Romanian
language (basically, the Latin2 subsets) contain the comma-below glyphs. (For
me, it is not so obvious *which font packages are involved*, otherwise I'll open
bugs directly on them);

- [anaconda] *after* the font issue is fixed, anaconda should set an appropriate
default font for Romanian, when Romanian language is selected during install.
For the moment, the Terminus font can be used (the terminus-font-console and
terminus-font-x11 packages);

- [system-config-language] *after* the font issue is fixed, s-c-l should set an
appropriate default font for Romanian, when Romanian language is selected as
system language. For the moment, the Terminus font can be used (the
terminus-font-console and terminus-font-x11 packages);

- [system-config-keyboard] *after* the font and the kbd issues are fixed, s-c-k
should present the user the opportunity to choose from *at least two* layouts
for Romanian keyboard, corresponding to the Primary and the Secondary
arrangements in the national standard (Secondary being the default). Please see
the separate bug #337271 .

(Hint: These two keyboard arrangements correspond to Romanian [Programmers]
(Secondary) and Romanian [Standard] in Windows Vista).

So I'm changing this to distribution again.

Thanks A LOT,
Răzvan
