#26: proposal: move to using IMEs for ASCII/Latin input

#26: proposal: move to using IMEs for ASCII/Latin input -----------------------+------------------- Reporter: petersen | Owner: i18n@… Type: meeting | Status: new Priority: major | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: -----------------------+------------------- = phenomenon = Currently in Fedora for languages with non-Latin scripts we normally switch between a xkb layout as an input source for inputting Latin/ASCII characters and an IME for inputting native characters. ibus-kkc and ibus-libpinyin both have Latin ("English") input methods. I think it is more natural for primary users of these IMEs to use them by default for Latin character input. So I want to suggest that for F21 we could default Japanese input to use only the kkc IME and Chinese to libpinyin IME, ie no additional keyboard layout source would be needed. Multilingual users might still need an additional keyboard layout input source and that is still fine. Other IMEs might also be extended to support Latin input modes in the future: initially we could do it for those default IMEs that support it. For example I am already using ibus-kkc for both Latin and Japanese input and it works well - I toggle easily between direct and ja input. Perhaps the only change needed for the current IMEs with Latin mode might be input mode state caching, ie using the same mode as last time. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/26> Fedora Internationalization <http://fedorahosted.org/i18n/> Fedora i18n Project

[Announce] Released 2.94.0 version of the Lohit Devanagari (Lohit2 project)
by Pravin Satpute 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi All, We identified couple of bugs against 2.93.0 release of lohit-devanagari. While more working on same bugs we saw some more opportunity for improvements from glyph positioning tables (GPOS) and using references of glyphs (reusing existing glyphs) rather than copying complete shape. * Following ***improvements *done in this release:* * Positioning lookups cleanup. (Removed 3 unnecessary lookups) * Improved grid fitting (GASP) table. * Renamed anchor points to DVAnchor, it will help in long term for making single Lohit font having all scripts. * Using copy reference instead of copying whole glyph points. * Auto test integrated with Makefile ($make test). * Added Santali language (sat) in fontconfig file. * Resolved #32: "???????? does not render correctly" * Resolved #33: "improper rendering for word : "??????????"" Updated lohit project page [1] for download details. Source tarball link [2], TTF tarball link [3] and webfonts format for Lohit is at [4]. I will soon build this for Fedora. Feel free to report any issues in github[5] I am happy with each release we are moving towards the perfection.

18 Feb '14

Hi All, Here comes the 2.92.0 release of Lohit Malayalam. We done number of improvements and bug fixes over the earlier release [1]. I am happy we able to resolve all reported bugs against alpha in 2.92.0 release. * Following are the highlights:* * We had around 9 below base glyphs not used in any lookup, we removed those glyphs. * Using "copy reference" for glyphs instead of copying whole glyph points in most of the places. * Sfd file size is now 384K, 2.91.0 release was 408K. * Renamed anchor point, it will help in long term for making single Lohit font having all scripts. * Removed Samvruthokaram ligature. * Resolved 10 issues reported on github [2] : #35,#36,#37,#38,.#39,#40.#41,#42,#43,#44. * More test cases in test file. * Auto test integrated with Makefile ($make test) For this release special thanks to Santhosh Thottingal for his detailed review of Alpha. It helped lot to identify key issues. I feel this release is near to final release of Lohit Malayalam and we can consider this as a Beta. Our goal with Lohit2 is to make effective and efficient font which can be used as a reference for new font developments activity. We still need help from community to test it and make sure Lohit is following all standards. Updated lohit project page [3] for download details. Source tarball link [4], TTF tarball link [5] and webfonts format for Lohit is at [6]. Feel free to report any issue AT github.
