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] submit a new package gcin
by Ray Chen 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

gcin is an input method framework for Chinese. Home page: http://hyperrate.com/dir.php?eid=67 (mainly written in Chinese) The project is created by the original author of xcin: Edward Liu (eliu) I have packaged gcin for openSUSE in my home:swyear for years Many linux users would rather use gcin when they don't want to use scim I think our openSUSE should supply gcin as an optional choice for these people. For now, Mandriva, Debian, Fedora (and Ubuntu) have offical build of gcin. BTW, gcin can use as an front end of anthy so if you use Japanese and want to try... Install gcin and anthy edit your ~/.profile to add export INPUT_METHOD=gcin after relogin to X press "Ctrl-Alt =" can switch to input Japanese. Now the package is available in M17N:Devel for 11.1 But fail for 11.0 and 10.3 It's strange, because gcin can build success in my home:swyear ??? For Factory fail too...Not sure what's the change in Factory With Regards Ray Chen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] Updated packages on M17N & M17N:Devel repos
by Takashi Iwai 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi, JFYI for a few updated packages on M17N and M17N:Devel repos: - uim is updated to 1.5.6. The crash bug with the recent xorg was fixed in this version, and it seems working fine as long as I've tested. It was also merged into FACTORY now. - scim-chewing and libchewing are updated to 0.3.3 and 0.3.2, respectively. The former update was already merged to FACTORY while the latter is still pending. - mlterm is updated to 2.9.4 released version together with build fixes for FACTORY. - The pending LinuxLibertine 0.4.4 was merged into FACTORY now. - fontconfig is updated to 2.7.0 on M17N:Devel for testing. No big breakage is expected by this minor version up. Will be submitted to M17N and FACTORY in the next week unless any serious bug is found. - IBus packages are available on M17N:Devel for testing. I've tested only ibus-anthy. Tests of other IM engines are appreciated. Note that ibus has a higher priority (a symlink number in /etc/X11/xim.d), thus this would be chosen as the default when installed. Though, judging from the functionality right now, I don't see any serious reason to switch the default IM from SCIM to IBus. Let's see the development and define later which one to take... Let me know if you see any problem with these updates. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

Since we need much more contributers for the project, I'd be very happy if you will join us. ;-) Best, -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.geeko.jp/author/heliosreds _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
