They already maintain a German Edition complete with fonts and resource files specific to the German langauge--More than one in fact. There's Swiss German, Austrian German, German (standard) etc...

It's all part of localization/globalization - Do what you can to avoid use of symbols and phrases that could be construed as offensive in other markets. Makes sense from a business standpoint.

If you decide you need a font that has a swastika, or a burning cross, or a peace symbol or whatever on it, feel free to make your own and sell it. ;0)

Doesn't the German edition require that you at least have the swastika fonts? /sarcasm
