Since when do umlauts need a special font? I never used anything but the built-in default font and always saw them. That said, I always skip the font selection, too.
Ok, umlauts are in the default font. But I knew there was an issue with the default font. Admittedly it's not important for installation but the default font has no Euro sign. Because of this and because I need - of course not during the installation - a font with cyrillic support, because I've got a few files with cyrillic file names, I needed to search a font which supports all of this at one time. And there are not so many of them. Actually I found only two or three. Probably because I'm used to these fonts I automatically change the font in km, too. For installation the default font should be sufficient at least for people who are using only latin characters. Heiko
