Sorry for my late answer. I just come back from my holidays few days
ago...
Latin10 or ISO8859-16 is an 8-bit charset (the ONLY one) which supports
Romanian language [1].
There are two letters (s and t with comma below) which are not in the
LaTeX fonts, so those are "produced" in this latin10.def file. Of course
that could be placed as well in a commabelow.sty file as well, but
latin10.def is helpful for typing directly in Latin10 (and/or Latin2)
and the output will be with comma below instead of cedilla.
The s and t with comma below are also not supported by omega/lambda.
The "comma below" glyph is present, but the S, T, s and t with comma
below are absent. Using a regular comma (instead of the Unicode "comma
below") will not produce the perfect solution, but this is as good it
can get in this conditions.
A LaTeX input file using latin10.def must contain this:
\usepackage{relsize}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin10]{inputenc}
Considering the latin9.def file I propose, I see no differences (except
the ordering and the \mathonesuperior, \mathtwosuperior and
\maththreesuperior), maybe the \euro instead of \texteuro? A simply
\usepackage{eurosym}
would solve the problem for my latin9.def
You may replace \euro with \texteuro in the latin10.def as well.
If you need more explanations please do not hesitate to ask me.
Best regards,
Ionel
