Description Behdad Esfahbod 2008-08-14 19:32:26 UTC 
Currently gdm does not show languages that fontconfig does not have any  knowledge about.  Attaching patch to allow them, so minority language groups are not forced to wait for a fontconfig release before gdm shows their language if they have already translated everything...

This was suggested by mclasen in response to user requests on fedora.

Patch not tested.

looks good to me! Thanks for working on this.  I was thinking about dropping the function entirely.

Hope I didn't break anything :).
