My complain for *-fontCyrillic port is that obsoleted version of Cronyx koi8-r fonts is used as base for it. Clearly it is not XFree86 intent to treat fontCyrillic as koi8-u fonts. It is possible to make koi8-u fonts from Cronyx koi8-r ones, but please do 2 things additionly: 1) Use _updated_ Cronyx koi8-r fonts version as base, not obsoleted one. 2) Rename port to avoid additional confusion to *-fontCyrillic-koi8-u For pure koi8-r fonts *-fontCyrillic-koi8-r name will be nice or *-fontRussian-koi8-r Current situation where koi8-u fonts sneaked inplace of koi8-r ones is not acceptable and leads to confusion. -- Andrey A.
