If this caused problems for Thai printing, this is an unfortunate side effect. I wonder if running in PANGO mode would make a difference here. Anyone else have any thoughts?

RE: [Fwd: [Fwd: [Fedora-i18n-list] Hindi console font.]]
by Ashutosh Raghuwanshi 22 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Friends, I don't know what more info you need. But if you really want this project to go forward then try to include the existing fonts in future releases of Linux and then wait for the XPSF format to complete so that we can use it for better presentation of Hindi fonts. I think people here at NCST are also interested in this project so in that case we will also get the bitmaps of the glyphs of other Indian languages and thus it would be possible to make console fonts for those languages too. Yours, Ashutosh Raghuwanshi.

[Fedora-i18n-list] Using Japanese in KDE Apps Causes System Freeze
by morpheus 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Hi, I've stumbled across a major problem with iiimf. Before, it was working fine, but now when I try to use iiimf in KDE apps (konsole, quanta, kedit) I get a system freeze and have to shut down my computer. iiimf is working fine in Gnome apps. How to Reproduce ----------------- 1. Open quanta 2. Press CTRL-SPACE 3. Type Japanese (like bennkyou= べんきょう) 4. Press SPACE to convert 5. You only can see the first kanji displayed, second is blank space (i.e. 勉) 6. quanta app is now frozen and will not respond to any keyboard input. You cannot turn off iiimf by pressing CTRL-SPACE again. Also, HOME, Backspace, ESC, CTRL-C, etc. do nothing. 7. Next go to any other open KDE app (like konsole). Even if you are not using IIIMF and just try to type English, you can only type one character then the app freezes. 8. From now on all KDE apps are frozen and you must reboot. 9. If you press CTRL-ALT-F1 to try to log on to a text console, the system will freeze. This bug can be reproduced using the above steps 100% of the time. In /var/log/messages, I get the following errors: Dec 21 00:20:19 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: status has not been enabled yet. (1, 6) Dec 21 00:21:08 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: status has not been enabled yet. (1, 1) Dec 21 00:21:08 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: status has not been enabled yet.

(1, 6) Dec 21 00:21:20 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: Client shut down the connection owned by im_id(1). The "status has not been enabled yet" happens thousands of times, and I know there is a bug report open on this one. But what is "Client shut down the connection..."? My /var/log/iiim and /var/log/canna directories are empty. -m

[Fedora-i18n-list] Hindi console font.
by Ashutosh Raghuwanshi 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hello Friends, A few years back I made a console font for 'Hindi' in PSF format. At that time Linux distributions were not fully translated for Hindi. But now when I saw 'Fedora Core 3' I felt a necessity for the Hindi console font and thus I want to know about someone to whom I should contact to incorporate my font in Fedora. If people are interested in console font for Hindi then I would like to continue the development of this font in the latest XPSF format which would make the text more readable. The existing font and its screenshot (taken from a virtual machine) are available at the following URL. http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/1/1/ashutosh/ashutosh/mycomputer/index.html#UTF-… Hope people will encourage me for further development of this font. Yours, Ashutosh Raghuwanshi. I believe in "The Intellectual Intelligence". _____________________________________________________________ Website - http://pragya.cjb.net E-mail(Technical) - ashutosh(a)pragya.cjb.net (Official) - ashutosh(a)ncst.ernet.in (Just 4 Fun) - ashutosh_raghu(a)indiatimes.com Yahoo Messenger - a_human_been PGP Public Key - http://pragya.cjb.net/redir.html?pgp F-Print: A44E E225 836F B468 BB49 694E 014F 0852 C05E F2E4 _____________________________________________________________

[Fedora-i18n-list] Not Working in KDE Apps
by morpheus 06 Dec '04

Hi, Thanks to everyone, I finally got Japanese working for gtk apps. However, none of my KDE apps work. I would really like to use Japanese in Quanta, Konsole, Kedit and others. When I right-click I get a context menu, and can choose XIM. But then, I notice on stderr this message: QInputContext: no input method context available Any ideas? -m --
