Well... This is a sensitive issue. 775 was chosen by MS for Win95
DOS support. However AFAIK 773 is more widespread in Lithuania. So 
there is no good solution, without giving user a choice to cycle 
through all available mappings. 

To make things worse, there are even more DOS code tables with our
glyphs: 770, 771, 772, 773, 774, 775...

Of course, but Latvians and Estonians should choose the tables on their
own, I don't know if 775 is their most widely used code table.
