No compose characters possible with asian language setting

Hello! I'm currently using SuSE 9.0 pro for both german and japanese input. This works fine so far, by setting the variables LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.UTF-8 and LANG to de_DE.UTF-8, but nevertheless I experienced a problem: With the LC_CTYPE set to japanese and an input method running (currently kinput2), I cannot type european language compose characters any more - at least the ones I used to produce with two sequent keystrokes ( ´ and e for é for example). The rest of my (german) keyboard layout works all fine, and with LC_CTYPE set to german, é's, à's, ô's, etc pose no problem, but then, of course, I cannot input japanese... This problem seems also to be existent for other language settings that use an input method, I tried it out with a friend who uses chinese input (also on SuSE 9.0 pro). We (my friend and I) are currently writing an article about asian language input with StarOffice/OOo, so we would really appreciate any help or hint concerning this problem. Thanks. Marcel Boeing

[opensuse-m17n] New IPA fonts in OBS M17N:Devel repo
by Takashi Iwai 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hi, I created packages for IPA fonts on OBS M17N:Devel repo (it's also a new sub-project) for testing. It's based on the new IPA fonts with a new, better license. The major differences are: - JIS X 0213:2004 compliant - All fonts are OTF instead of TTF - IPAUIGothic is dropped It seems working fine on my systems, but any further tests would be appreciated. Suppose the packages work fine, any objections to replace the package on FACTORY with this? thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] More on package updates on M17N and M17N:Devel repos
by Takashi Iwai 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi, a bit more news on OBS M17N and M17N:Devel repos. * Sub-pixel rendering Since the M17N repo is used as the devel-project for FACTORY, we need to keep the packages there as clean as possible. That is, the packages should be always (almost) ready to submit to FACTORY. One issue I found in M17N repo was the sub-pixel rendering of freetype2. The sub-pixel rendering is (vaguely) allowed for the service like OBS, but it's not distributable due to you-know-why reasons. So far, the feature was enabled on this repository because the package was independent from openSUSE distribution. But, now it becomes a base of FACTORY, i.e. the openSUSE itself. Thus we have to disable the sub-pixel rendering on M17N repo, too. As a workaround, I enabled the sub-pixel rendering again in the package on M17N:Devel repository. So, if you've been using packages on M17N repo and miss this feature after the update, try to add M17N:Devel repository or just grab the latest package from there. * IBus I created IBus-related packages, just for testing (read: no guarantee to work :) I myself tried shortly ibus and ibus-anthy, and it works somehow. At least, Gtk IM looks OK. XIM seems unstable, though. Note that since Qt3 IM isn't provided, both Qt3 and Qt4 are done via XIM. Hence the input on Qt apps might be unstable as well. Anyway, if anyone can test these packages -- especially Chinese ones, it'd be really appreciated. Remember that all FACTORY and OBS are open for community. You have a good chance to improve anything by yourself! I hope people can just join in and enjoy. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] Packages updated in M17N repo
by Takashi Iwai 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi, together with the recent action to open FACTORY, I changed many packages on OBS M17N repo to be links to openSUSE:Factory. The advantage of linked packages is that they are automatically updated when the corresponding packages are updated on FACTORY, and the spec files are sync'ed. There are a few packages on M17N repo that are either not on FACTORY or not yet sync'ed with FACTORY, and I left them as they are. Most other packages have been already converted. Please let me know if you encounter problems by this action. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] New versions of anthy and scim-anthy in M17N:Devel repo
by Takashi Iwai 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi, I created the updated version of anthy with some improvement patches on M17N:Devel for testing purpose. Together with anthy, scim-anthy is updated to 1.2.7 there. This should improve the accuracy of conversion by anthy fairly well, in addition to better word learning. With this update, anthy will use UTF-8 as the default coding, which may bring some incompatibility with the old contents in ~/.anthy. To make sure, just remove ~/.anthy after upgrading these packages. Tests with these new packages are greatly appreciated. Once after they are confirmed to work well, I'll submit them to FACTORY. Please let me know if you find any problems or suggestions. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
