It includes the euro sign and some other small changes AFAIK.

I suppose fvwm-2.4.x exits when it does not find fixed *-iso8859-16 font.
By the way these patches to replace searching for strictly "fixed" font
were demanded by the Debian maintainer, I think he included these or
similar patches before creating debs anyway. I hoped he or someone else
will reply to other Debian specific questions asked in this thread.

I don't have ro_RO.ISO-8859-16 locale on my system to test anything.
Anyway the solution should be to use fonts existing in your locale or
explicitely specify charset (like *-fixed-*-iso8859-2) when defining
fonts, or switch to 2.5.x where i18n and font handling is much improved.
But prepare to get warnings if the used fonts do not match your locale.

Regards,
Mikhael.
