[Fedora-i18n-list] Kanji recognition
by Digimer
Hi all,
This is my first post so I appologize up front if I fail to follow a
rule (written or otherwise ;) ).
I have recently started using Japanese input in my programs under
Fedora Core 3 with growing success. What I am looking for now, and I
hope this isn't off topic for this list, is a tool like my roommate has
on her WinXP machine where I can free-draw a kanji character and the
program tries to match it and provide a list of options (and if I am
really lucky has the pronunciation and meaning).
As an aside, I have also been trying to find a way to make Japanese
the default input method in iiimf. Gimlet currently defaults to English
but seeing as I can toggle between kana/kanji and romanji with
<ctrl>+<space> I'd rather leave it as Japanese.
Thanks and I look forward to getting to know people here!
Madison

tone markings. Ideas?

[Fedora-i18n-list] Adding languages in FC3
by Akash
Hi,
I am using FC3 and at the time of install I had added Hindi, Tamil
languages. Now I am feeling the need to add Kannada as well. I just
can't find any way to add it other than reinstalling.
Is there a way to add a language after the initial setup?
regards

[Fedora-i18n-list] Cannot display Chinese characters which are not Japanese characters
by Clotho Tsang
My Fedora 3 can display some but NOT all Chinese characters.
The Chinese characters common with Japanese-chinese (eg. "我")
can be displayed correctly, but uncommon one like (eg. "檔")
will become a block with its coding.
Setting locate to "zh_TW.UTF-8" or "en_US.UTF-8" cannot help.
I have tried to changed the fonts, but there is no difference
for all the fonts.
Thank you for help.

[Fedora-i18n-list] Key Mappings for IIIMF
by morpheus
Hi,
Several months ago I asked if you could change key mappings for IIIMF, specifically:
1. I need to disable Shift-Space since it is used in many applications for a reverse-scroll shortcut.
2. I need to disable the Home key menu since it is VERY difficult to use a word processor without the Home key.
The answer at that time was, "cannot be done."
However, the FAQ says:
Generic keybinding editing capability is in development, but until then, you can specify activating/deactivating keys(aka trigger keys or conversion-on keys with "-conversionkeys" option when you run htt_server.
For X applications, you can change it by putting
"*conversionOnKeys: Zenkaku_Hankaku <Shift>space"
into xrdb.
So, I have three questions:
1. What is the status of "generic keybinding editing capability"?
2. How do you add the line above to xrdb? Can you give me a sample xrdb command line (it has many options) or should I edit a config file?
3. Is there any other way to disable Shift-Space and Home?

[Fedora-i18n-list] Adding new keyboard to system-config-keyboard
by Sébastien Taylor
Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper way of
adding a new keyboard mapping to system-config-keyboard because I would
like to add the standard canadian keyboard (not french canadian like
currently there, this is the standard keyboard also known as canadian
normalized).
I added to keyboard_models.py (in the rhpl package of the python site
packages) the keyboard, xfree/xorg call it "ca" instead of the
"ca_enhanced" which is currently define as the french canadian. I
called the entry "cn" and it shows up fine in the
system-config-keyboard but then after I select it, I get an error about
not being able to open the file cn, it then runs setxkbmap which seems
to work fine.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you,
