Now openSUSE for languages with Latin alphabets use converted keyboard layouts from X into kbd, also use unicode console font (as converted layouts supports it). Remaining task is to do same transition for non-Latin console keyboard layouts and set appropriate console font. Perhaps we should preconfigure option to switch between native and US QWERTY in console for these non-Latin languages and keyboard layouts. As noted in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=942896#c70 , As noted in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=942896#c69 Greek seems not have converted console keyboard layout from X into kbd. For Greek perhaps we can use eurlatgr console font (like for Latin alphabets) All Cyrillic layouts now use UniCyr_8x16.psf font, but this font seems to be compatible with cp866, cp1251, iso8859-5 and koi8-r (according http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Belarusian-HOWTO/x28.html) and not compatible with unicode per se. But openSUSE seems don't provide converted layouts for Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Tajik. For Cyrillic alphabets we should use LatArCyrHeb-14, LatArCyrHeb-16+ or LatArCyrHeb-16 console font, that support unicode.
