 Thanks for the hint on localisation.  Indeed, this can be quite
practical when it comes to saving the fonts that were added to the
system.

  But there's more to it and I'll start another thread.  What I found
with the Japanese fonts that I've used is that some are directly mapped
to the keyboard keys, which does not make sense at all (at least for
romaji input which is very common - have no dedicated Japanese
keyboard) and some simply renders any character as a square.

  But the method above works nicely to install localized fonts.  Just
make sure that the path where the fonts are and the path referred-to in
the config file are the same ! ;-)
