RE: CE languages

There is however, a problem with Central European and Cyrillic languages
caused by the fact that FrameMaker has 5 locked code points in the ISO Latin
codespace. If the font you are using for these languages includes a
character that uses one of those locked code points, then FrameMaker cannot
produce the character. Until such time as FrameMaker gets rid of these
locked code points and supports Unicode, it cannot support many Central
European and Cyrillic languages, as well as other languages which exceed the
255-character codespace, and/or use the locked code points. There is no
known workaround.
