What u2g (adobe-full or adobe-short? )file will be loaded when no locale.u2g
is found? I'd suggest changing current order (adobe-short.u2g, then
adobe-full.u2g - at least thsi was before your patch) to (adobe-full.u2g,
adobe-short.u2g) *only* for locale-specific subdirectories. I.e. when no
locale.u2g in locale-specific directory is found, the u2g to be loaded from
the parent directory should be adobe-full.u2g (this way, locale-specific
directories may not contain any *.u2g and it will work fine)
Sorry if it's already implemented - I did't look at your patch yet.
