[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?

I try to re-install iiimf-le-xcin-0.1.7.9 on my FC3.
But there is always wrong when do "make".
The following are the messages :
--------------------------
Making all in cin

cin2tab: cin file: sys.cin.utf-8, use module: syscin version 20000210.

How can I solve that ?
Thanks.

[Fedora-i18n-list] Adding a new language pack
by Daniel Yacob
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!

[Fedora-i18n-list] How to get '-' in katakana with canna server
by Digimer
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
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=1...
thank you.
