Yes, I just committed it.  However, for tuxtype to actually use
Finnish we need a Finnish "theme", with a few word lists and a
keyboard.lst file to indicate what chars are "typable".  There is a
somewhat outdated description of this in doc/en/HowToTheme.html in the
source tree.  The best thing to do is to look at some of the other
themes (under data/themes) and pattern it after one of the existing
ones.  If you put your theme into a *.tar.gz file and email it to me I
will add it to tuxtype.

Thanks,

David Bruce

p.s. - my wife is US-born but of 100% Finnish ancestry.  We have
visited Finland and love it.  Her elderly father was sold on Linux as
soon as I mentioned that it was started by a Finn graduate student.
