please, please do not forget to add Greek fonts this time :-) The rpms for Greek fonts were included in SuSE.6.4 (xfntgrk-3.3.6-27 and xfntgr-3.3.6-27) but unfortunately they were missing from SuSE.7.1.Pro (!). Also, please, fix the language changer (or whatever this is called) in KDE.2.xx, because although it changes flags (from English to Greek) it still impossible to type Greek chars. This is not a problem for overall system stability, but since I live in Greece it kind of makes KDE.2.xx unusable...
Here some comments from our developers about Greek support: [SNIP] It looks like the greek fonts in the xf86 package were dropped with the update to xf86 4.0 in SuSE 7.0. We should include them in the future again either within an extra package or create them (misc/75dpi/100dpi bdf fonts) during the build of xf86. BTW, I see iso8859-7 misc fonts in SuSE 7.x. Isn't iso8859-7 the same as Latin7, which is required for Greek users? [SNIP] [SNIP] I checked whether we have greek fonts recently - I found that we currently have the following Greek bitmap fonts:

I have installed all 3 packages an tested it briefly. The fonts from xf86.rpm are already enough for some basic stuff. [SNIP] So I assume, we are all covered here.
