What about *.ISO-8859-16 locales, which seem to be unsupported by X at the
moment? Do we need to prepare iso-16 fonts to support them?

Some default glibc locale charmaps are unsupported by X, eg. tg_TJ.KOI8-T.
Also zh_CN.GB18030 (but this is not the default one). What do you suggest?

Some other locale to work need X locale definition fixes. I tried to do some
sync for X locale, basing on the glibc one. The files ara available at
http://fly.mif.pg.gda.pl/X/
I do not support patches as they would be bigger and more difficult to
maintain (~70% of files is modified).

I assume you do notice the difference in handling some UTF locales by X
locale, eg. for pl_PL.UTF-8 and ko_KR.UTF-8 ...
