Re: [PATCH] Fix Charset comment in fi_FI, fi_FI at euro

[keld at keldix dot com]

It is not necessary to specify UTF-8, all locales support UTF-8.
The question is whether the locale can be used with iso-8859-15. 
More than one charset may be specified with the charset comment.
If you like you could specify both UTF-8 and iso-8859-15,
with utf-8 first, if that is the preference.

What is ANGSTROM used for? As an alternative to Å in the sorting?
And other places?

Best regards
