From CHANGES files in transfig tarball: o Glyphs for Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak and Slovenian are essentially the same as Czech (ISO-Latin 2) so symbolic links are created for those .ps files (hu_HU.ps, pl_PL.ps, ro_RO.ps, sk_SK.ps and sl_SI.ps are linked to cs_CZ.ps) If this is wrong, please, clarify.
