Description of problem: When I tried to Kannda Language option is missing from the list of Languages at the bottom of the startup screen when booted with the Live CD of fedora-9 preview. Hence one can not boot the Fedora-9 Preview Live iso in kn_IN locale, and there will be no support for kannada. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-9 Preview Live cd How reproducible: Booting with Fedora-9 Preview Live cd Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with Fedora Live cd (Preview) 2.At the automatic login screen click the "other.." option in "Language" field Actual results: "Kannada(ಕನ್ನಡ)" option is missing in the list of languages Expected results: Kannada(ಕನ್ನಡ must be included along with the other languages Additional info: In the Fedora-9 Beta Live cd, the "Kannada" option was available, but I observed that, the fonts were missing, and just the unicode boxes were seen even after logging in. Looks like whole kannada support have been removed from the fedora-9 live cd

GDM filters out languages that don't have font coverage. If we want to support Kannada out of the box then we need to add lohit-fonts-kannada to the livecd's list of installed packages. If you want it after the fact, install lohit-fonts-kannada.
talking to jeremy, Bill fixed this yesterday.
