+1 here. Currently debian and all other major distributions use unicode locale, provides applications translations to a lot of non English languages. And setting font that has no non-latin characters as default is not so good idea, since there is easy-to-use workaround. As for me, it should be at least described in README.Debian. -- WBR, Dmitry
