+\subsection{Improve \pkg{fontenc} error message}
+
+If the \pkg{fontenc} is asked to load a font encoding for which it
+doesn't find a suitable \texttt{.def} file it generates an error
+message indicating that the encoding name might be misspelled. That
+is, of course, one of the possible causes, but another one is that the
+installation is missing a necessary support package, e.g., that no
+support for Cyrillic fonts has been installed. The error message text
+has therefore been extended to explain the issue more generally.
