I'm sorry; I thought the package XFree86-cyrillic-fonts had iso8859-5 fonts;
but it has koi8-r ones.
I fixed that on mandrake; now when Russian language is choosen, the
package XFree86-cyrillic-fonts is pre-selected too.
I also did the same for XFree86-ISO8859-9 (for Turkish language) and
for XFree86-ISO8859-2 (with various East-European languages).
Should I also pre-select the 75dpi and 100dpi versions of the last two ?

And even others encodings.
Maybe we should try, when a msdos/vfat mount point is defined that is
allways mounted at boot time; to look for a /mountpoint/windows/fonts
directory; and if it exists; create a fonts.dir file on it (with ttmkfdir)
and add the directory to the xfs fontpath.
That will provide users with nice fonts out of the box; and solve a lot
of font encodings problems for them too (we provide with fonts for only
a small subset of the charset encodings we support)
