Hi, In build/needed-characters/nl.utf I've added the following characters: §±£ The first two are found on normal keys (~ and :) on Dutch keyboards and should therefore IMO be available. The third is under altgr+7, but is of course a normal key on en_GB keyboards. IMO such characters should be available even if they are not strictly required for the installation: a keyboard should just work. Optionally we could also add: ¹²³¼½¾ These are found under altgr+1 to altgr+6 on Dutch keyboards and so less easily accessible. They are printed on the keys though. There are some other characters that are missing from other (somewhat random) locations: €¢¶¦ Adding the EUR and Cent signs seems to make some sense, less sure about the others. Argument would be basically the same: a keyboard can be expected to work correctly. The cost seems extremely minor. What policy have we been following for this for other languages? The README currently says "but if you know the installer will never have a message containing a given character (such as the Euro sign), please leave it out to save space", but maybe we should add that characters directly available through keyboards are OK? Cheers, FJP
