Note that the newt frontend has exactly the same problem: if a character is not in the "needed characters" list for a language, it will not be displayed correctly. I see no reason to treat this issue differently in the graphical installer than in the regular one. The team and translators just need to make sure that characters they need are included in the font files. This may take a while to get right and may lead to the occasional minor bug, but I would not expect major problems from this. (BTW. I really like how the graphical frontend just tells you which glyph is missing.) Cheers, FJP
