Thanks. Inés was kind enough to reply to my request already. It is
nice to hear that Mr. Eichwalder is at SUSE :) He has done lots
important things for i18n and m17n of various products/ systems.

The fonts are available for download at
http://aiet.qartuli.net/docs/georgian_on_linux_en.php
There are three scalable font files:

1. BPG_Glaho.ttf.gz (Font name: BPG Glaho. Should default for Georgian
language on SUSE). This ia a Helvetica type, proportional Georgian
font. this is considered as one of the best Georgian fonts.

2. BPG_Chveulebrivi.ttf.gz (Font name: BPG Chveulebrivi. Georgian
times-like proportional font).

3. BPG_Courier.ttf.gz (Font name: BPG Courier. For console and fixed
width needs).

The three fonts licenses permits free distribution separately of
bundled with other OS software, as well as free noncommercial and
commercial use.

The font vendor is BPG Info-Tech, a Finnland-based software and font
vendor company.

All right.

Could someone kindly tell me where I can find the current Georgian xkb
kayboard layout in the distribution? Should I also submit Georgian
flag? I will also take a look at the system to find localisable
resources.

Also, could someone tell me if SUSE installer supports unicode?

Thanks again and best regards,
