Bug ID: 2217637
           Summary: Chinese characters are too small in list of characters
                    presented when entering pinyin.
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 37
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: ibus
          Keywords: Desktop, RFE
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: tfujiwar@redhat.com

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora
1. When using ibus to enter Chinese characters via pinyin, a list of characters
matching the pinyin appears.  The characters in the list are too small, making
it difficult to choose the desired ones, especially in the case of characters
that consist of many strokes.
2. I cannot find a way of making the characters in the list larger.  There used
to be a settings or preferences tool, but I have not been able to find one on
my work station for over a year.  According to dnf, I have
"gnome-shell-extension-ibus-font", but it has no man page, it cannot be
launched from the command line, and "Activities" does not find a matching
application.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(1. size part)
1.Launch LibreOffice Writer.  (Other applications such as vim work just as
well.)
2.Choose "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)" for input.
3.Enter the pinyin spelling for a Chinese word (example: "pang xie").
(2. settings/preferences part)
I cannot think of a way to test this!
Actual Results:  
(1. size part)
A numbered menu (list) of Chinese words appears.  The words (characters) are
very small and hard to read or distinguish.
(2. settings/preferences part)
not applicable.
Expected Results:  
(1. size part)
A numbered menu (list) of Chinese words appears.  The words (characters) should
be large enough for almost everyone to read, regardless of which desktop
environment is being used.
(2. setting/preferences part)
a. There should be a setting/preferences GUI in which it is easy to set then
font (face and size) used to display the words/characters in the list/menu of
words matching the pinyin that I enter.
b. This GUI should be easily accessible in all desktop environments.
c. This GUI should be easily installed, maintained, patched, updated, and so on
via dnf, regardless of what desktop environment is being used.
I am not a systems administrator.  I have no training or professional
experience in systems administration and operating systems.  I am a "home user"
using Fedora on a home work station, stuck doing his own systems
administration.  I like having dnf handle almost all my installation and
maintenance.  One thing I have outside of dnd management is "zoom", and it's a
real hassle to maintain.  So please understand that I need customization of
ibus, especially font face and size, to be easily do-able via a GUI installed
and maintained via dnf, and that the GUI must easily work in all desktop
environments.
