The gap should be reduced. The gaps become more prominent and the join appears
broken when letters are bold.

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.

Target Release: ---
Clone Of: 474010
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #474010 +++
Description of problem:
If you select "Russian" keyboard during system installation then gdm is
configured to use Russian input for user names and passwords by default. Any
language different from english does not make sense for user name, and probably
english should be default for passwords.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
always?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a fresh fedora system using "Russian" keyboard. Don't be afraid, it
won't affect the installation since during installation you will have US
english layout with this selection anyway.
2. try to enter a login name when you get that far.
Actual results:
You are entering funny cyrillic characters.
Expected results:
English, at least for user name and hopefully for password.

I don't get this bug?
If you select the Russian keyboard layout, then that's exactly what you'll get;
the Russian layout for the keys on your keyboard.
If you are using a US keyboard, then use the US keyboard layout.

> I don't get this bug?
In case you don't know, Russian layout does not have any of the the latin
characters.
Unix account names always use English low-case alphabet. Therefore in order to
be able to enter a unix account name (this is an expected thing at a login
screen, right?) you would like to be able to enter English letters, and you
can't if the only keyboard layout available is Russian. Even more, the most
common practice, at least in Russia, is not to use Russian layout when entering
passwords, but use the English layout; otherwise you often can encounter
"there-are-many-encodings" problems.
To have a Russian keyboard layout as the only choice at the login prompt as an
insane default. Nobody even in Russia would be able to use this default
setting. This must be changed.
This is an insane and unsuable default.
And even if you ignore the login problem, almost every Russian user will
install the English keyboard as one of the first actions on a new system,
because there are lots of other places where latin letters are used. Some
examples are unix command line and web URLs.

And I can tell you even more, Russian keyboard layout is not the only layout
with this peculiarity. At least a Greek layout has the same problems. I believe
there are other layouts as well.
For all these layouts you would like to have:
1. English layout selected as default on the login screen.
2. English layout installed as an alternate layout after logging in.
No exceptions.

This is not the duplicate of 474011. This bug is about insane default, bug
474011 is about broken layout switching at login.
--- Additional comment from tim623(a)gmail.com on 2009-08-04 22:10:41 EDT ---
Solving this bug would solve bug 474014 by eliminating the need to
"double-switch" (see Description of bug 474014.)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '10'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:

I think I can reproduce this with F12 Live:
1. boot F12 Live
2. switch layout to Russia
3. autologin as liveuser
4. observe only "ru" layout installed not "us" as well
I think we need to install both for Russian: "us,ru"
would probably be better for technical users anyway.
Then Shift+Caps_Lock should allow switching "ru" <-> "us".
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-24 03:45:11 EST ---
Ah I see: if I then logout and change to US kbd layout
and login again then the gnome kbd applet shows "us,ru".
(Though no xkb toggle for changing layout,
eg Shift+Caps_Lock, defined.)
I think we need "XX,us" for all layouts that don't
provide Latin input, or maybe better checkboxes
in the gdm options layout widget to select multiple
layouts?

Yes, checkboxes (and pre checkboxed items for different languages) is a very,
very good idea. But "us" must be the primary layout for non latin. For some
other (as cz,us) let it be cz,us.
--- Additional comment from tfujiwar(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-25 23:21:48 EST ---
Probably I could understand this issue.
In the most cases, I would think users could define their keyboard layouts with
gnome-keyboard-properties after they log into the session.
However it seems this request is to the special keyboard layouts which don't
have ASCII chars. They need to type both ASCII and the language chars.
Yes, sending multiple layouts could be a solution. However I'd think that
selecting one layout on GDM is simple.
Probably I think one solution is to configure input method.
E.g. A user chooses "ru" on GDM and log into the GNOME session, ibus checks the
user's layout, if the layout is found in the predefined list in ibus, ibus
provides the "us" layout with Ctrl + Space.
If the users could switch "ru" and "us" with the trigger key, probably I think
this problem could be resolved and if they want other language layouts, they
could use gnome-keyboard-properties.
--- Additional comment from shamardin(a)gmail.com on 2009-11-26 02:53:28 EST ---
No, you don't get it at all.
There is no need to tweak ANYTHING after the log in.
And there is no need to provide switching in GDM.
It is very simple: after user is logged in any kind of defaults, setups etc. is
fine and must be left for the user.
But not at the GDM. At the GDM you ALWAYS need to type latin characters. So, if
you have selected US keyboard you do not need to change anything for GDM
defaults. If you have selected French keyboard you do not need to change
anything for GDM defaults. If you have selected Greek keyboard you MUST change
default layout in GDM to US. If you have selected Russian keyboard you MUST
change default layout in GDM to US. And so on. Not AFTER logging in to GNOME
session. Not allowing to switch with more comfort in GDM. Just set the
appropriate for the keyboard latin layout in GDM as default, and thats it!
--- Additional comment from shamardin(a)gmail.com on 2009-11-26 03:03:56 EST ---
And yes, there is another place in the system which needs the same amount of
sane defaults, but I'm too lazy right now to open a separate bug. It's
gnome-screensaver. If you happen to lock your screen with NO latin layout
available to switch to, you will never be able to unlock it.
The perfect solution would be something like this: at all places which prompt
for system password or login, default selected layout must be appropriate latin
layout (US for US keyboard, French for French keyboard, US for Russian
keyboard, US for greek keyboard, etc.)
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-26 03:47:03 EST ---
Ok so there are two issues
(1) make sure user can input Latin characters in gdm
(2) config good default layouts for desktop
Lev is talking about (1).
So probably (2) might be moved to another bug
even though they might be solvable together.
(Using input-methods or ibus for xkb switching might
help but Latin layout needs to be base layout for
gdm, screensaver, etc.)
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-26 03:48:49 EST ---
However I think the easiest way to solve (1) is by (2).
--- Additional comment from shamardin(a)gmail.com on 2009-11-26 03:52:13 EST ---
You cannot solve (2) because what is a 'good default' for the user is up to the
user to decide. There will always be dissatisfied with your 'good defaults'.
But for the GDM and other login/password prompts there can be only one 'good
default': latin layout.
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-26 03:54:22 EST ---
Taking ru as the example: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru
doesn't provide Latin input so when using it the layout
should be set to "us,ru" and xkb can do layout switching
(per window) between us and ru as needed. We are also
thinking how ibus can help with this eventually.

If we fix this in either GDM or IBus side, probably I think the hard-coded list
is needed and it could be done in ibus.

Yes, normally Russian users have "us" layout in GDM with a physical Russian
keyboard, and after logging into the session they usually have two layouts with
switching between them, "us" and "ru" (typically a layout variant which was
named "ru-winkeys" some time ago). Which one is the default depends on the
user's main activity. Those who often type commands usually prefer "us" layout
as the default, while those who use generally mail-browser-office applications
often prefer "ru" layout as the default, but usually all Russian users have two
layouts configured with switching.
For those of you who have no idea what does 'physical Russian keyboard' look
like, I will attach a picture to this bug. Please notice that the keys have two
layouts printed on them: US (upper characters on letter keys, left column of
characters on symbols and numbers) and Russian (lower characters on letter
keys, right column of characters on symbols and numbers).

http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout
What is the default layout on Windows? Probably Russian?
We have to have default... :)
And what should it be on a Linux desktop?
For all Asian languages we currently default to Latin input
and users have to turn on the input-method for native input.
So to me it seems natural to do the same for xkb layouts.
I think this is might be ok for Fedora's current user audience,
but with long term proliferation we may need to rethink.
--- Additional comment from petersen(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-26 20:43:38 EST ---
Or how would you decide when to switch layout immediately in gdm and when not?
Eg AZERTY (French) or Dvorak users would not want gdm to delay changing layout
until after login.
--- Additional comment from shamardin(a)gmail.com on 2009-11-27 00:22:00 EST ---
On windows if you select Russian keyboard, the system is configured to have two
layouts, US and Russian with layout switching and Russian as default, even at
login prompt.
Windows allows unicode login names (and russian login names become more and
more common for home users). POSIX does not. There is absolutely no point to
have a non-latin layout as default when you need to enter a POSIX login!
--- Additional comment from peter.hutterer(a)redhat.com on 2009-11-27 00:51:55

how about the following idea:
gdm provides an on-screen keyboard. this keyboard provides the layout selected
by the user (russian in this case) but also "Switch to US layout" button.
Hitting this button changes _both_ the virtual keyboard and the physical
keyboard to a us layout. Hitting the "back" button (or whatever) changes back
to the previous method.
This is an idea only, with no code to back it up but it solves a few issues:
- users without a keyboard can log in using the virtual keyboard
- users with a non-ascii layout can switch to an ascii-layout if needed
- no "magic" layout switching using possibly unknown keyboard shortcuts
- if the layout is changed to US, the visual representation shows what the
physical keyboard now does. for those not used to the US layout, this provides
an overview of what the keyboard does now.

I have a better idea. Let's make Russian layout with big convinient button to
switch to US as default for US Keyboard.
The whole point is THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CASES WHEN YOU NEED A RUSSIAN LAYOUT
AT LOGIN PROMPT!!!
You do not need switching, you do not need more convinient switching, all you
need is a f-----g latin layout as default!

Users without a keyboard must hit "change layout" button first. Great.

And users with non-latin layout must hit "change layout" button first.

But they can see that big button clearly.

And we will have a shiny virtual keyboard, great!

My 2 cents.
GDM should know whether it works on a POSIX system and enable ONLY latin
keyboard layout for it's login input field.
>From the other hand, passwords CAN contain non-latin characters so it's worth
to have an ability to type them.
I propose to add a layout indicator (pretty like gnome-panel applet, but
cutted) in right of the password input box. For those who have a non-latin
password. The layout list for the switcher should be filled with the us+system
default keyboard (e.g. us,ru). Notice, the latin layout should go first,
because most of users are careful enough to use a latin password.
And finally, I think the proposed switcher should be hidden if the alternative
layout contains all the latin characters (GDM would need some library to
determine that?).
The switcher widget itself must solve the problem for users unfamiliar with the
default layout toggle shortcuts.

Patch for gdm-common.h, gdm-session-direct.c, gdm-layouts.c
Sorry for dispatching the issue.
I thought to fix this in IM side but there are several problems; one is a
design issue in either ibus Linpus version or ibus-xkbc and another is IM
should be disabled in password dialog for lookup table.
Now I'm back to GDM for this issue.
When I see system-config-keyboard, it has the hard-coded table in
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/system_config_keyboard/keyboard_models.py.
Probably it would be a good idea to have the static data instead of parsing xkb
directory.
I picked up "ara", "bg", "cz", "dev", "gr", "gur", "in", "mkd", "ru", "ua" from
the keyboard_models.py.
This patch assigns Ctrl+Shift to switch the layouts of "us" and the original on
both GDM login and logged session.
system-config-keyboard assigns Shift_L+Shift_R but I guess some keyboards might
not have two shifts.
It still needs to change gnome-settings-daemon but almost works fine in my
test.

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 836437] New: [All Lang][fonts-tweak-tool] - Dummy focus shifting on language showing after deletion
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=836437
Bug ID: 836437
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
Severity: medium
Version: 17
Priority: unspecified
CC: i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, jni(a)redhat.com,
petersen(a)redhat.com, pwu(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com
Assignee: jni(a)redhat.com
Summary: [All Lang][fonts-tweak-tool] - Dummy focus shifting on
language showing after deletion
Regression: ---
Story Points: ---
Classification: Fedora
OS: Linux
Reporter: smaitra(a)redhat.com
Type: Bug
Documentation: ---
Hardware: All
Mount Type: ---
Status: NEW
Component: fonts-tweak-tool
Product: Fedora
Description of problem:
Suppose user added 2 languages and those are showing in the language pane. Now,
if user delete/remove one selected language, after deletion, the focus
aotomatically shifted the one remaining language. But, its a dummy focus, and
as result, user can see that the Remove button remains disable and the
desciption of Alias fonts for that language is also now showing. In this case,
user needs to press CRTL and select that language (which will actually work as
deselect) and then again select it fresh, then all the disabled fields will be
enabled. Its a confusing factor for any user. It should be rectified.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fonts-tweak-tool-0.0.5-1.fc17.noarch
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open fonts-tweak-tool
2. Add 2 languages.
3. Now, delete/remove either of the two.
4. Observe the focus shifted on one remaining language, but also observe the
"remove" button become disabled, and the Font alias section, showing nothing.
Actual results:
Focus shifting is acting as a dummy focus.
Expected results:
Focus should not be dummy and the expected scenario should be met.
