From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030601 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: Installation and System settings->keyboard offer various options for keymaps even on same language, least finnish, swedish, german, norwegian and danish have latin1 and non-latin options. These non-latin 7-bit encodings are obsolete, using version of ASCII where several symbols (ie: @$~{|}\) are replaced with accented letters needed to write these languages. (aka. national ISO-646 7-bit codes.) There are no consolefonts for these encodings neither they are compatible with anything so using these is pointless and only creates confusion among (novice) users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Finnish keymap on installation program 2. Alternative: System settings->keyboard select Finnish Actual Results: Linux console prints { for key �, | for � and } �. Expected Results: "Finnish" keymap should use latin9 (ISO-8859) encoding. Additional info: Workaround is to choose "Finnish (Latin1)". Suggested fix: move fi.map -> fi-old.map, fi-latin9.map -> fi.map. Provide compatibility for fi-latin9 -> fi.map Repeat for other north- and west european languages.
changed made for fi and those with obvious latin9 equivalents in the i386 directory.
