+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #834971 +++
This was originally brought up by Mathieu Bridon and other Hong Kong Fedora
users. The text below is adopted from his mail.
Here's a proposal to fix IBus Table for Hong Kong users.
Both Cangjie and Quick can be used to type Simplified and Traditional
Chinese, however, given their design, there isn't any combination of keys that
would conflict between those languages. In other words, any given
combination of character can only lead to results in one of those
languages, never more than one.
Given all that, it would make sense to simply remove altogether the IBus
filter for the Cangjie and Quick input methods in IBus.
Let's take an example.
In Cangjie, the combination "rji" can only return results in Traditional
Chinese. That means if a user types this combination of keys, he is
expecting results in Traditional Chinese because that's the language
he/she wants to type.
But with the current IBus filter, if the filter is set to only let
Simplified Chinese characters pass, he/she would not get any results.
In the same way, the combination "yri" can only return results in
Simplified Chinese, and the combination "fji" can only return results in
Japanese.
[ed: I have never heard of people using ibus-table for Japanese input]
This is by design of those two input methods: they were designed to
avoid conflicts.
As such, the filter just makes no sense for Cangjie and Quick, and it
should be simply removed for those two input methods.
Now, in the above I claimed that Cangjie and Quick were designed to have
absolutely zero conflicts, which was a little exaggeration.
In reality, conflicts happen. However, Cangjie and Quick were really
designed with the goal of minimizing conflicts, and they do it so well
that the actual rate of conflicts is 8.04% [1]. This is such a small
number, and it happens in so rare occasions, that it can just be
ignored.
It is also important to note that if 90% of Hong Kong people [2] use
Cangjie and Quick, many people (but much less than in HK) use them in
Taiwan, and almost no one use them in Mainland China or in Japan.
Out of those three, Hong Kong and Taiwan write Traditional Chinese,
Mainland Chinese write Simplified Chinese, and Japanese obviously write
Japanese. So those two input methods really are used almost exclusively
to write Traditional Chinese, which makes the aforementioned 8.04%
figure completely negligible.
As such, it doesn't change the argument at all: the current IBus filter
should be removed for the Cangjie and Quick input methods.
This is an absolute show-stopper for Hong Kong users at the moment
(well, not me, I can't write Chinese , and the simple act of removing
this filter for those two input methods would basically fix 90% of the
problems for 90% of the Hong Kong people.
Do you think you guys could fix this issue before the release of GNOME
3.6?
Of course, we'd be happy to provide a patch if you agree on the solution
and if you can provide some guidance.
[1] There's a scientific paper published on this, but it's unfortunately
only available in Chinese:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/倉頡輸入法
[2] Not just Linux users, actual **people**, as this is how everyone
learns to type at school in Hong Kong.

Hi Matthieu
Forgive me for "pasting" your mail into bugzilla,
but I am also keen to see this issue get fixed.
I encourage you report any issues and problems
you Hong Kong users are facing directly into bugzilla
so that they can attention. :)

Sounds reasonable enough

I think so and for Fedora 18 - and of course the fix should be backported
to Fedora 16 and 17. I am just surprised noone has reported this issue
before...

That would be helpful if you can.
I am not clear if it is the allowed characters in the tables themselves
that need fixing (or does ibus-table ignore those?) or ibus-table itself?

Let's be honest, there basically aren't any Fedora users in Hong Kong. (whether
this fact is because of this IBus issue or because we haven't been good enough
at advocacy is not the subject of this bug report).
There's me, but I'm French and can't write Chinese, so I don't really count
here.
There seem to be 3 other local Fedora ambassadors, but all my attempts at
contacting them basically failed, so they might not be active any more.
The people I have been discussing this issue with are mostly Ubuntu and Debian
users though.
Also, it seems to me that the local Linux community (which is very small) is
mostly made of geeks/tinkerers, which are very quick to just drop IBus entirely
and replace it with something else which is more geared towards the local needs
(I think I heard fcitx was more widely praised in wider China).
However, this is becoming an issue with GNOME 3.6 adopting IBus and tightly
integrating to it.
I want to advocate GNOME and Fedora in Hong Kong, and my (relatively short, as
I've been here for less than two years) experience, as well as discussions I've
had with local long time users who can actually type Chinese, indicate that
IBus is just unsuitable in Hong Kong at the moment, because of this bug.

The problem is the filter.
There is currently a filter to let only characters from a given language pass.
With the Candgie and Quick input methods, this filter makes little to no sense,
by design of the Candgie and Quick input methods themselves (see my
explanation) and so it should just be dropped.
I don't think it is reasonable, especially for those two input methods given
their design, to ask the user to select what the filter should let pass. Also
consider that the current GNOME design seems to agree with me on this as it
doesn't expose those settings anywhere that I could see.
However, there probably are other input methods where this filter makes a lot
of sense, so I'm only asking for it to be dropped for Candgie and Quick, not
for the whole of ibus/ibus-table.
There obviously are different methods to impleemnt this, the two that come to
my mind being:
1. something like:
if im_name not in ("candgie", "quick"):
do_filter()
2. allow each input method to provide their own set of directives to the
framework, so that Candgie and Quick could disable the filter themselves
Which one of these, or any better implementation, is more suitable for upstream
is of course left for upstream to decide. :)
--- Additional comment from me(a)kaio.net on 2012-06-26 11:59:28 EST ---
I am a Fedora user from HK but not in HK. Counting my brother who uses Fedora
in his workplace as server, it won't be just you. :)
* Introduction *
This is not the problem only of IBus on Fedora, but I think is IBus itself.
There are a few things I need to mention separately about this negative user
experiences to HK / Traditional Chinese users, that I hope could be documented
permanently somewhere on the Internet:
1. Default value.
2. User interface.
3. Filter.
4. Cangjie & Quick.
5. Design of logic.
* Default Value *
Cangjie & Quick are mostly living in ibus-table on Fedora. Since the main
developers of ibus and ibus-table are from Simplified Chinese background, the
default values are set for Simplified Chinese users they expected to behave.
This made the filters of Cangjie and Quick "Simplified Chinese only". When
there are no candidate characters will come up that users expected, users with
novice level of computing knowledge probably recognized that as a broken input
method software.
I remembered some patches have been done by acevery (dev of ibus-table) and
others, to check up the system locale when the engine starts for a default
value of "Traditional Chinese only" filter. Sadly, this fix did not resolve the
problem on my box, which I am using English locale + UI with Cangjie input
method. And I think at the end of the day my use case was ignored as "not
common scenario".
* User Interface *
Okay, I can confidently say - no one from Hong Kong will select Chinese (Hong
Kong) on regional settings during installation. The reason of this partly
because there had been no substantial Cantonese localization happened in
Fedora, past experience on Windows where no Chinese input methods were provided
in such locale, and other problems on fonts/font-config/input methods on IBus,
etc. This forced most of users who preferred Traditional Chinese UI to pick
zh_TW as locale, no matter they are from HK / TW / Chinese communities around
the world. This is somehow should not let it be.
The next thing is the broken UI of IBus on Gnome 3. The toolbar / properties
bar / floating bar was gone in Gnome 3. And right click on the IBus tray icon
(whatever it is in "zh" or a little keyboard) when Cangjie / Quick is the
active input method, the setting items are all blank. This should be some color
defaults when the default menu backgroud colors were light in Gnome 2. Having
this gives inconvenience to "better than beginners" users to have filter value
be changed from "simplified" to "traditional" or anything. I once have read a
consumer computing magazine / web site published in HK, the author commented
Fedora as "Linux which is not capable to support Chinese users". I think the
reputation can get worse along time.
* Filter *
My first Fedora for daily purpose was Fedora Core 5. Its default input method
engine / framework was SCIM. In SCIM, it demonstrated the true purposes of
Chinese filter (on Cangjie / Quick / anything) - users can input in either
Traditional or Simplified Chinese key combinations, and able to output the
characters of in each other's standards. This aim the traditional Chinese user
who needs to communicate with simplified Chinese user who cannot read the
characters of each other, and vice versa. The ibus-table has not implemented
that before SCIM was replaced by IBus. FYI, instant messaging software
aliwangwang / taobaowangwang developed by alibaba.com for e-business have this
function built in, when I was using that years ago.
I understand about the filter Mathieu mentioned and IBus had been using - the
specific candidates of the tables are not listed for commit. As Mathieu
explained about the design of the Cangjie and Quick, a given key combination of
Cangjie should yield 1 Chinese character only, despite of acceptable duplicate
%. A key combination of a traditional Chinese should get only tradition Chinese
character, except when the table maker put a mapping of traditional Chinese key
combination with a simplified Chinese character, and vice versa. FYI, many
input method software adopted this behavior, such as "Cangjie Friends" on
Windows (made by developers from Malaysia) and KeyKey / Kimo Input on OS X
developed by Yahoo!. They put that as a switch in preferences - "Show only
big-5 characters", where big-5 is a charset mostly cover traditional Chinese
characters even fewer than Unicode defined.
There should be an "agreed" design which resulted the filter used by IBus now.
I personally am not against this, but I guess the workload on table maintenance
will be heavy. I still wish the filter in SCIM was implemented than the way of
IBus has taken. I am not sure how to improve this yet.
* Cangjie & Quick *
About Cangjie, it is originally a design for all Chinese characters by breaking
them down into key combinations in regard if it is traditional or simplified.
Although during the simplification some strokes were made "not too complying"
to the Cangjie design, I have seen so many input method engine / table came up
some key mapping of character parts. Cangjie is not so appropriate for daily
use of simplified characters, because relatively less strokes on simplified
Chinese increased the duplication of candidates results. That's why Smart
Pinyin may have higher productivity/typing-speed than Cangjie for simplified
characters. Hope Cangjie on Fedora can focus on traditional Chinese first.
About Quick, you take first and last key from key combinations of a character.
All quick Quick typists memorized the positions of candidates for frequent
characters. The influence of Microsoft Windows again - users who uses Quick
will complain "order of candidates and number of candidates on each page, are
different from the orders on Windows", until they see the candidates on same
place as they are on Windows. AFAIK I disabled the dynamic order on Quick, but
changing the default number of candidates on each candidate-window page was not
changed.
* Design of Logic *
The ibus-table has so may things hard-coded. It also consists of so many
concepts suitable only for China users, like goucima (keys of character
combination), pinyin value. The punctuation on ibus-table was hard-coded and
was no so good, considering there are some more foreign tables such as
Cyrillic, Latin, Thai, Vietnamese that may not using Chinese punctuation
symbols.
I received comments from people who tried ibus and ibus-table, that having
sqlite and python slowed down the speed too much. I heard Ding Yi Chen has
rewritten that into C but seems it has not been used but the original
ibus-table in Python is still the default.
I do believe if no improvements significantly on ibus-table, it won't help the
Fedora / Linux promotions in HK. For Taiwan people they just change to
gcin/hime after installation, and for China people I heard fcitx is much more
welcomed by them with some people did switch to fcitx because it is better to
them.
* Conclusion *
I have the best user experience on SCIM (besides re-login was required when it
crashed): accurate inputting, filter worked, informative & nice toolbar icons,
responsive. If there is a goal of making an input method framework better than
SCIM, changes are required on not just ibus-table but ibus from the bottom.
There are not enough contributors / someone with resources to do that I
personally observed.

This is exactly the filter issue I've described from the start, although I had
(stupidly) forgotten to mention that the default value of the filter was based
on the locale.

> * User Interface *
This is all being completely reworked for GNOME 3.6 anyway, so I'm not sure it
makes sense talking about it here.
Plus, the UI is probably more related to the implementation of each Desktop
Environment rather than IBus in itself?
As the original reporter, I'd like us to try and keep this bug report focused
on the one issue I reported in the first place: the filter.

That's also a different issue from the one I reported originally.
First, I don't agree that it's a problem, as I stated in the upstream bug
report: lots of other things are different between Linux and Windows anyway. We
shouldn't aim to be **the same**, we should aim to be **better**.
If users have to relearn when they move from Windows to Linux but once learnt
they can type more comfortably, so be it. Also, we should stop only aiming at
"converting the masses". Many people are using Linux as their first computing
experience, and that's definitely something we should focus on. Those people
won't have to relearn anything, they will learn only once whatever the ordering
in IBus is.
If the ordering is actually bad (which I'm not qualified to judge), it would
indeed deserve a bug report. But could you open a separate bug report, so we
can focus this one only on one issue? (the issue at hand being the filter)
> * Design of Logic *
Again, those all seem to me to be improvements which would deserve their own
bug reports?
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2012-06-27 16:12:01 EST ---
Thanks guys for the helpful comments.
So perhaps the best solution would be to add ibus-setup-table
with some config UI to allow users to chose what if any
language filtering they prefer?
Anyway I agree that ibus-table seems weaker than scim-tables
so it would be good to improve it, at least to get to parity
in usability.
It would be helpful if you could file separate bugs about
other issues such as those you mentioned above.
Caius: if there is a performance issue with ibus-table
compared to scim-tables, it would be useful if you could
report that too with examples in a bug report.

That might help, yes.
And I guess that Desktop Environments which will provide their own UI (e.g
GNOME >= 3.6) could show that in some form or other.
For example, they could have the following in their list of "input sources":
[... snip ...]
- Simplified Chinese (Candgie)
- Simplified Chinese (Pinyin)
- Traditional Chinese (Bopomofo)
- Traditional Chinese (Candgie)
- Traditional Chinese (Quick)
[... snip ...]
And if the user chose "Traditional Chinese (Candgie)", then underneath,
ibus-table would pick the "Candgie" input method with the filter set on
suggesting only "Traditional Chinese" characters.
I think that could work really well. :)

Hi Mathieu, Jens
As caius mentioned in his comment:
"In SCIM, it demonstrated the true purposes of Chinese filter (on Cangjie /
Quick / anything) - users can input in either Traditional or Simplified Chinese
key combinations, and able to output the characters of in each other's
standards."
I just investige a bit of ibus-table, I found that actually ibus-table had
provide such kind of filter. Indeed, the ibus-table have filters such as
"Simplified Chinese only" and "Traditional Chinese only", but it also provide a
filter allow both simplified chinese and tranditional chinese passed.
In upstream, https://github.com/acevery/ibus-table/blob/master/engine/table.py,
from line 96 to line 101, five candidate filter mode have defined for
ibus-table
# self._chinese_mode: the candidate filter mode,
# 0 is simplify Chinese
# 1 is traditional Chinese
# 2 is Big charset mode, but simplify Chinese first
# 3 is Big charset mode, but traditional Chinese first
# 4 is Big charset mode.
So, mode 4 could be used by hong kong user if they want to input Simplified
Chinese and Traditional Chinese at same time, or they can choose mode 2 and 3,
both should be ok. I test the input rji and yri in mode 4, the output is
correct.
The attachment is the screenshot, which you can see, user could switch these 5
modes by clicking the second button in UI.
The test enviroment:
ibus-table-chinese-cangjie-1.3.5-1.fc16
ibus-table-1.3.9.20110827-1.fc16.noarch
OS: Fedora 16
Locale: en_US.utf8
For tranditional chinese user, the default value of mode is 1. so if the hong
kong user wanted, we can change default value of mode to 4, then i think the
issue should be resolved.
Please correct me if i understand the issue wrong. Thanks
--- Additional comment from me(a)kaio.net on 2012-07-05 21:45:59 EST ---
I think as per Mathieu's comment, having mode 4 by default for cangjie/quick
tables may be the answer. It may be already possible to have such configured in
tables for such requirement. If not, a patch is the answer.

I know, that's the filter we've been talking about from the beginning, when in
my initial comment I said:

Ok, I didn't know that "Big charset" stood for "don't filter at all".
Had I known that, I wouldn't have asked for the removal of the filter in the
case of Candgie, I would have asked for the default value to be 4.

That screenshot represents what you get when installing a GNOME Shell
extension, it is not the default experience in current GNOME, and probably not
the default experience in current Fedora.
Also, it is not what will be the default experience in future GNOME (starting
with 3.6):
> For tranditional chinese user, the default value of mode is 1.
Not really: the default value depends on the locale.
It is a fact that lots of Hong Kong people do not use any of the en_HK or zh_HK
locale, yet they still want to use the Candgie or Quick input methods with a
correct value for the filter.
> so if the

For all of IBus-Table? Or just for Candgie?
The former might be a very drastic change with dire consequences for users of
other tables. :-/
The latter is what has been asked from the beginning, although I asked for it
in different terms ("drop the filter") because I didn't know what "Big charset"
meant, but that seems to be absolutely equivalent.
Note though that the default value should be based first on the input method,
and only then on the locale.
Part of this seems to be worked on:

I suggest we split this bug in to 2: one for ibus-table and the other for

Combinations of 3 vowels with letters
Description of problem:
The gap between vowel signs ('ে', 'া', 'ি') and letters when in combination is
more than actual. The vowel sign 'ে' always sits a bit more towards left. Same
is the problem with 'া' and 'ি'.
The gap should be reduced. The gaps become more prominent and the join appears
broken when letters are bold.
I am attaching documents containing the in general combinations of letters with
'ে', 'া' and 'ি' both in regular and bold for reference.

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 799565] New: Lohit Malayalam font does not have support for 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH

Summary: Lohit Malayalam font does not have support for 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799565
Summary: Lohit Malayalam font does not have support for 0D4E
MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH
Product: Fedora
Version: 16
Platform: Unspecified
OS/Version: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: unspecified
Priority: unspecified
Component: lohit-malayalam-fonts
AssignedTo: psatpute(a)redhat.com

Description of problem:
It was announced
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/lohit-devel-list/2012-February/msg00011.html)
that the latest 2.5.1 version Lohit fonts support latest Unicode 6.0
characters. Especially Malayalam was also mentioned.
However I find that the Lohit Malayalam 2.5.1 release downloadable from
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/o/lohit/lohit-malayalam-ttf-2.5.1.tar.gz
does NOT provide support for 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH.
As this is one of the three Malayalam characters encoded for Unicode 6.0 (see
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/DerivedAge.txt and search for 0D4E) it
should also be supported.
[The other two characters are provided but 0D3A has a wrong glyph which I have
reported as bug 798870.]
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.5.1
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Lohit Malayalam 2.5.1 font.
2. Try to use 0D4E MALAYALAM LETTER DOT REPH
Actual results:
This character is not available.
Expected results:
This character was encoded to support the old Malayalam orthography. As such it
should be made available for full Unicode 6.0 (or 6.1) support.
Additional info:
You might need to do some smart font programming to position the dot reph
correctly. Note that this character is a special rendering character (hence the
dotted box around it in the code chart
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0D00.pdf).
The special rendering is that it should be placed on top of the character
*following* it. See the original proposal bottom of page 3 and top of page 4.
I think the e-Malayalam OTC font
(http://www.aai.uni-hamburg.de/indtib/INDOLIPI/Malayalam.zip) has pre-composed
glyphs using this character on top of other consonants which might help you in
positioning this character. Note that most often it is found with doubled
consonants (i.e. DOT_REPH + GA + VIRAMA + GA etc) so you will have to be able
to position this character above stacked consonant clusters.
I hope this is sufficient feedback for supporting this character which is
important for old Malayalam orthography.
