Ok... as many of you know, there is a patch coming soon (hopefully this week) with better language support. Your current version only supports the Latin-1 codepage. People from outside the Latin-1 area, have problems trying to type certain characters, and the wrong character appears. The new version supports 6 more codepages so a lot more people can write their own language properly in LFS. The attached pictures show the new code pages.
1252 Latin
1250 Central European
1254 Turkish
1257 Baltic
932 Japanese (Katakana)
1251 Cyrillic
1253 Greek
If you want to know which codepage your computer will select, download this tiny exe, run it and the "ANSI Codepage" is the value that will tell you the page that LFS will use.

Anyway, what's this thread all about? Well, it's just a preview, in case you spot any problems when you look at your code page. It would be very good if some Russian and Greek people could take a look at their code pages (attached) and see if i have made readable characters. I've tried to make well shaped characters in the LFS style... but it's worth checking as i'm not really familiar with Greek and Cyrillic alphabets.
The actual Windows code pages, which these LFS ones should match exactly, can be see here on the Microsoft site :
