Zdravo,

evo kako vidim, nemogu dalje da pišem po srpsko-hrvatskom jeziku, jer mi 
nide dobro. lakše mi je da upotrebljavam engleski, otčekujem, da se ovaj 
put slažete, jer neželim da nešto pogrješno pišem:

Me as a smart-ass would anser: If you're getting error message "bad font 
detected", then you should use another font, like Arial, Helvetica or 
Times. What you mean is a different codepage.

There cannot be "bad" fonts. If yes, are then all russians, 
belorussians, ukrainians, serbs, makedonians, bulgarians, moldovians, 
mongols, kazakhs, tadshiks, Kirgiz, etc. "bad" people, because they use 
a bad font ?

what are the greek using and why ?
How about the Israels, Arabs, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans......

Please check up the openstreetmap map , eastern of bosnia, and you will 
see, that nearly no country is using latin letters there.

So if youre searching for Jerusalem or  Cairo or Bejing there also will 
be a "bad font detected" ?

And how about me in germany? We have letters like Ää Öö Üü and ß ? Are 
they also bad ? Should we also type "Nuremberg" instead of "Nürnberg"?

Did you know that if I search for Sarajevo in germany I MUST use the 
letter "w" instead of "v" ? Will I ever find Sarajewo on the map ?

If you're searching on the webpage of openstreetmap any city, in any 
codepage, you will find it, because it is recognized and translittered. 
I tried it in serbian, russian, greek, german, english and french.... 
e.g: Moskva, Москва, Μόσχα, Moskau, Moscow, Moscou

Only because some programmers do not realize that since 1991 there is 
existing something like "Unicode", whith which you can use alle signs of 
all languages, the poor poor serbs should not use those cyrillic letters.
You should beat "bad" pogrammers, who connot code correctly. If you're 
getting such an error code, use another software, which is up to date.

So. What I wanted to say, is that every nation is proud of their signs 
and letters. Please keep them.

Let the serbs (at least in "their" area) using those letters, they are 
not hurting noone, aren't they?

Thanks for reading, and again a big thanks for Michal who is doing a 
very big job, which I wanted long ago, but I have to less time.
And to use the last word of Damir: As long as there is anyone mapping in 
bosnia, he should keep on doing it ... (even if he is using hieroglyphs).

kind regards,

Leo

P.S.: još jednom se izvinjavam, ali mi stvarno lakše ide....
