Comment:

 Worked with xoEthiopia in #olpc-help tonight. I don't think this is a bug,
 but a tech support question (i.e. it should be in RT, not Trac - is there
 a way to migrate?)

 '''sugar-control-panel -s language am_ET.UTF-8''' (in Terminal, of course)
 changes all of Sugar to Amharic, including giving xoEthiopia the ability
 to type in Amharic using the AbyssincaSIL font. So the B4 appears to be
 working fine.

 However, xoEthiopia just wants to select AbyssinicaSIL as a font in the
 write activity and write in Amharic (without having to mess with
 setxkbdlayout, sugar-control-panel, or whatnot, and then switch seamlessly
 to a non-Amharic font in Write and type in that). xoEthiopia claims this
 worked with the original build on the B4 they received, but does not know
 what build that was.

 I'm not sure whether keyboard/language mapping setup was done differently
 in earlier builds and might be the cause of the discrepancy; wiki-crawling
 hasn't turned up anything and I've got to go to bed now.
