Bengali support added in indic-typing-booster
by Pravin Satpute 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hi All, Released https://fedorahosted.org/releases/i/n/indic-typing-booster/bengali-typing-b… Thanks to hunspell package, got a good word-list from there. Highlights: - This Beta release 0.9.0 - It supports Probhat, inscript and phonetic (itrans) layout. - Probhat is actively used in community - inscript is standard from govt. - Phonetic is for users interested typing in phonetically. - User not need to download and install all layouts, install phonetic, probhat or inscript rpm subpackage. - 3 Lakhs words in suggestion list. Might be we can reduce it in future and keep only required one. One can download rpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3608241, package review request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770695 Yet, not tested much from Bengali users. Suggestions and bugs are welcomed :) Best Regards, Pravin Satpute

ibus-1.4.0-14 is available <http://desktopi18n.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/ibus-1-4-0-14-is-available> via DesktopI18N's Blog <http://desktopi18n.wordpress.com> by fujiwara on 12/14/11 ibus-1.4.0-14 is available soon in f16 or higher. You could now install ibus-1.4.0-14 in Fedora 16 updates-testing repository. # yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing ibus ibus-gnome3 % rpm -q ibus ibus-1.4.0-14.fc16.x86_64 This update enhances the shell menu. Icon activated menu on ibus-gjs icon indicator <http://desktopi18n.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ibus-gjs-panel-20111214-2.png> Now menu icons on ibus icon menu use the prefix of language names for XKB keymaps and multi-byte special chars for input methods and have numeric suffix if the icon strings are duplicated. (e.g. 中2 and en2) The ibus shell menu also deletes the item of quit, restart, ibus-setup to follow the UI spec since the indicator will persist for XKB keymaps even if ibus is not running. We’d like to integarte ibus setup into gnome-control-center. Also this update adds the IM engine’s setup button on ibus-setup. IME button on ibus-setup <http://desktopi18n.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ibus-setup-ime-setup.png> The feature is upstreamed in ibus HEAD <https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/5236e2159f2e6184c18df9a9ecbb05bfb09106d4>. We also would like to integrate this function into gnome-control-center.

Hi All, As decided earlier i have done sub-packaging for Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati and Tamil languages. Now in Fedora users no need to install all layouts support. i.e. If user interested in using marathi phonetic he can install $yum install marathi-typing-booster-phonetic else $yum install marathi-typing-booster-inscript Changes done in Rawhide (Fedora 17), once stable i will push back to Fedora 16 as well. Other update is Anish has resolved major bugs[1][2][3] in ibus-indic-table, i will add patches for those booster table against it next week. Best Regards, Pravin Satpute 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750735 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750730 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750727

We should think for hinting Indian fonts in long term, at 8 point size, shape not looks very good even at Desktop. In other case Latin script characters look crystal clear due to hinting. Autohiting doing good job at desktop level, but still hiting instructions specifically for particular fonts,style and script can surely make it better. Best Regards, Pravin Satpute

Hi, libpinyin is a n-gram based pinyin back end for ibus-pinyin, which provides intelligent sentence-based pinyin input experience. Please help testing to make it better. The ibus-pinyin with libpinyin back end is here: http://pwu.fedorapeople.org/libpinyin-repo/ For installation guide, please see README in the above URL. If you encounters a bug or needs a missing feature, feel free to report a bug. Thanks, Peng Wu
