Version: 4.1.0-9


In the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias there are few lines:

% grep ro_RO /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
ro                                              ro_RO.ISO8859-2

romanian                                        ro_RO.ISO8859-2
rumanian                                        ro_RO.ISO8859-2
ro:                                             ro_RO.ISO8859-2
ro_RO:                                          ro_RO.ISO8859-2
ro_RO.iso88592:                                 ro_RO.ISO8859-2
ro_RO.ISO-8859-2:                               ro_RO.ISO8859-2
romanian:                                       ro_RO.ISO8859-2
rumanian:                                       ro_RO.ISO8859-2

which have to be changed to:

ro                                              ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO                                           ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.iso88592                                  ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.iso885916                                 ro_RO.ISO8859-16
romanian                                        ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro:                                             ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO:                                          ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.iso88592:                                 ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.iso885916:                                ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.ISO-8859-2:                               ro_RO.ISO8859-16
ro_RO.ISO-8859-16:                              ro_RO.ISO8859-16
romanian:                                       ro_RO.ISO8859-16


Reasons:

1. ISO-8859-2 doesn't support Romanian language. It is just adding
support for a breve character compared with ISO-8859-1
2. ISO-8859-16 was officialy released few months ago and it
is the only 8-bit charset which support Romanian language,
3. rumanian in not plain English (although you might find it in some
English dictionaries). 


Want to know more about Romanian language? Just let me know...
