Multilingual keyboards
Dear Dell,
I might be not the only one to notice, but why you treat Russian customers like Dell isn't world leading PC manufacturer but like a Chinese counterfeit producer? What's wrong with the guy/girl who is responsible for Cyrillic fonts on your keyboards? Why the Latin symbols are good and polished, and Cyrillic look like <ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed as per terms of use>? Is it a big deal to use a good font or pay $39 USD for a license? That's a shame when a $2000+ notebook like the new XPS 15 has such an awful font on its keyboard. I would rather buy an American version of it, but it has Latin letters in the center, so I cannot engrave the Cyrillic ones properly by myself, like i did it on my current Latitude Z600. Look at this forum, and 2 keyboards pictured in these posts: http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=17http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=17:49697-8#235 (the new XPS 15 from Dell's official reseller in Russia) and http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=17http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=17:49697-8#236 (my old Z600 with Russian letters engraved in Moscow, as no Z600 were supplied here). Can you see the difference? We (in Russia) see it clearly, and let me assure you that there are a lot of good-looking Cyrillic fonts many of which has Latin symbols embodied as well so the text and letters look the same no matter which layout you use.
I'd like to see Dell's keyboards made better, with a proper respect to non-English users who have to work with 2-layot keyboards. Please let me know, when I could get a new XPS 15 with a pretty keyboard. Thanks.
