maybe this is already somewhere on your TODO list, so I just want to
mention it:

there are several languages using non-latin letters
 - tere are some for which font files could be easily created
   (like cyrillic and greek)
 - and some which are much more complicated
   (like chinese or arabic)

if someone is going to reimlement (a part of) the font selection in vdr,
maybe at least the first block of languages could be covered.
