It is absolutely unimportant. :-)

Extra font sounds better, because same codes can be shared between
special characters in lat1 and lat2, so it would be necessary to remap
lat2 chars to different codes, which are not in use in lat1. Thats not
good.

Of course, I can submit stripped down version of translation without
special chars, it works, but it doesn't look very nice.
