> /rhn/account/LocalePreferences.do - in 21st century and utf8 fonts, do
we need pictures with text in national alphabets (if you select hindi as
webui language, we have to use some fonts supporting hindi anyway),
therefore getting rid of images would be really nice?

I looked briefly into this and I have a patch. However there is a
problem. The "normal" fonts are not that complete so even if hindi shows
correctly with their alphabet, korean and other do not.

This can be fixed by adding another font that is complete (like gnu
unifont) and generate a css style that would apply that font only in
that section of the page. However unifont .ttf is 14M. I am pretty sure
that one could generate a subset of the font but I haven't looked into
that yet. It should be possible with the build system of those fonts.

Options?
- We look into generating a font with the symbols we need?
- We keep using images but may be improve them?
- ???
