[Fedora-i18n-list] Typing high ASCII
by Not Here
How do I enable typing high ASCII character by Alt - numpad in Linux?
I want to keep the US keyboard and en_CA language. This works fine in
every version of Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out how to
get Linux to do the same, I believe the Latin-1 charset would do it,
but how/where do I enable it?

[Fedora-i18n-list] Inuktitut and gedit input
by Matt Thompson
I'm hoping someone here is enough of a GTK/X/input guru to help with
this. I'm trying to input some Inuktitut in gedit, which is one of the
input methods supported. Now, most of it is easy to figure out (it's a
transliterated input), except for the ng- syllables. You can't do n
then g, because you get an n plus a g-.
So, I got the GTK source, and in methods/input/iminuktitut.c I see:
SYL(GDK_lstroke, 0x15a0, 0x15a6, 3) /* l- */
SYL(GDK_eng, 0x158f, 0x1595, 3) /* ng */
Now, Owen Taylor of GTK+ fame said I'd need to map an eng to my keyboard
to get it to work. Does anyone here have a good procedure for doing
that?

Re: [Fedora-i18n-list] May I extend IIIMF to support Vietnamese input method

Do you have iiimf-le-unit installed? The FC3 version should include tables
for Vietnamese.
What locale are you running in? Vietnamese?
Then if you have the input switcher applet running in the gnome panel
you should see Vietnamese listed or be able to add it with its language
list editting dialog.
Alternatively try Ctrl-Shift-Space and in an application and you should
see a list of Languages Engines to choose from including Vietnamese.
You have read the FAQ? http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html
Hope that helps, Jens

[Fedora-i18n-list] May I extend IIIMF to support Vietnamese input method
by Tran Anh Tuan
I'm a windows developer, new to Unix programming with some skills on C++,
and .NET technology. I'm now studying to port into Unix programming (such as
Fedora).
My first interest is helping Vietnamese people can use easily input
Vietnamese with built-in support.
Vietnamese input method basis on latin-characters and accents. User type an
accent anywhere in a word to put accent for it (for instance, a*s* or
a*1*-> a'; no
* s*i or noi*s* - > no'i) *(o' is an unicode character)*. In general, the
rule is not complicated.
- Every word have can have only one accent.
Anyone idea?

[Fedora-i18n-list] es_NI support
by Carlos Chavez
Hello.
Recently I installed Fedora Core 4 with the support for the Spanish language.
When use the system-config-language only appears the Spanish-Spain language.
In some messages I read that if we eliminated "SUPPORTED" of the file
"/etc/sysconfig/i18n" appear all the languages; This worked, but the
file es_NI seems incomplete, for example the formats for date them do
not appear defined.
how I can contruibuir to complete this file?
Cheers.

[Fedora-i18n-list] Using Dhivehi Fonts
by Skywalker
Hello everyone,
Its been over a few days I've been using linux. I have been looking for ways
to use 'dhivehi' font in Fedora Core 3. Dhivehi is a language used in the
Maldives and can be written from right-to-left, much like arabic with strokes
below and above the letters.
Since this language was not included in the keyboard layouts during initial
installations, I was wondering whether there's a way to submit the keyboard
map for this language. In spite of the fact that I am not a developer, I
would very much like to see this language added to fedora core products along
with other languages like Hindu, Tamil and Singhalese.
Before I go on I would like to give you a brief overview of how this language
looks like and how it ought to work in the righ-to-left cursor context.
For instance, the word 'sa', if pronounced and written in dhivehi, the text
would be typed (supposing the cursor now moves from right-to-left):
"[|]as"
where, the cursor is indicated in square brackets. The 'a' is a stroke that
will appear on top of the Dhivehi letter equivalent of 's'.
My request here is to see whether if there is a way to develop the keyboard
layout for this language, and if it needs any participation, I would be more
eager than spread the message around to Maldivian Linux Users.
Since this language uses similar contextual properties found in Dhivehi, I was
wondering how easy or difficult it would be to create this keyboard layout.
Please find further resources about 'thaana' (script name for dhivehi
language) here:

[Fedora-i18n-list] cp 1256 to utf8
by khazaee
hello all.
I want to change the character set of a text file from CP1256 to UTF8,
which one is better? :
1) use of high level library like icu or iconv from glibc.
2) low level transformation and use of wchar_t data type,(byte by byte)
i mean does icu library or iconv functions do that perfectly?
Or
do you have any ideas?
regards!
