[Fedora-i18n-list] Typing high ASCII
by Not Here 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

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] Adding a new language pack
by Daniel Yacob 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Greets, Doing a custom installation of FC4 I noticed the section for "Language Packs" (or maybe it was "Packages", it was a subsection under "System" IIRC). What comprises a language pack and when is one required? If applicable, I would like to provide one for Amharic support. thanks! /Daniel

[Fedora-i18n-list] How to get '-' in katakana with canna server
by Digimer 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hi all, I hope this is an on-topic question. :) I have started using 'canna' as my Japanese input method and so far it's working pretty well. The one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to type the '-' (lengthening stoke) on katakana words. For example, when I try to type "page" I want to get 'ページ' but all I can get is 'ペイジ'. (I got the lengthening stoke for this example by copy/paste from a website). Would anyone using 'canna' be able to tell me how I can get the '-' stroke in katakana? Thank you very much in advance! Madison PS - I am running Debian 3.1 with Gnome2 using UIM as my input method switcher, in case that makes a difference.

[Fedora-i18n-list] proposal for a CJK font package submission
by Qianqian Fang 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

hi sorry for intrusion. let me introduce myself first, my name is Qianqian Fang, one of the Fedora Core users and open-source software developers. As you may know (or maybe not), Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) support under Linux is always a pain in the neck and I have heard enough complains about it for almost all Linux distributions. One of the major difficulties is that there is not a single "good" open-source Chinese font available: there are open-source True-type CJK fonts, but they have no bitmap font embeded as in commertial CJK fonts, the screen rendering of these fonts are so blurred and make it difficult to read. I (and my team) have been working on a CJK font project since last October, after months of hard working (our work is also based on many other previous works), we have developed bitmap fonts covered complete CJK Unified Ideographics (20,902 characters at 4 pixel sizes and two weights, making about 180,000 glyphs). We just announced our second release. This font is extremely easy to install and use, we provided both BDF/PCF versions. The font is developed by thousands of contributors at our wiki website (http://wqy.sf.net/en/ ) and is licensed under GPL. We are currently working on Unicode CJK extension A as well as open-source outline CJK fonts. I am curious if it is possible to submit this font package to Fedora development team for review (I don't know if this is the official way to do that or not), and for consideration of including it into your distribution. This could make CJK users' lives much easier. The latest version of this font can be downloaded from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128192&package_id=156… thank you. Qianqian
