[Fedora-i18n-list] Typing high ASCII
by Not Here 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

How do I enable typing high ASCII character by Alt - numpad in Linux? I want to keep the US keyboard and en_CA language. This works fine in every version of Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get Linux to do the same, I believe the Latin-1 charset would do it, but how/where do I enable it?

[Fedora-i18n-list] Inuktitut and gedit input
by Matt Thompson 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I'm hoping someone here is enough of a GTK/X/input guru to help with this. I'm trying to input some Inuktitut in gedit, which is one of the input methods supported. Now, most of it is easy to figure out (it's a transliterated input), except for the ng- syllables. You can't do n then g, because you get an n plus a g-. So, I got the GTK source, and in methods/input/iminuktitut.c I see: SYL(GDK_lstroke, 0x15a0, 0x15a6, 3) /* l- */ SYL(GDK_eng, 0x158f, 0x1595, 3) /* ng */ Now, Owen Taylor of GTK+ fame said I'd need to map an eng to my keyboard to get it to work. Does anyone here have a good procedure for doing that? Matt -- The mayfly lives only one day, and sometimes it rains. - Geo.

Re: [Fedora-i18n-list] May I extend IIIMF to support Vietnamese input method

The FC3 version should include tables for Vietnamese. What locale are you running in? Vietnamese? Then if you have the input switcher applet running in the gnome panel you should see Vietnamese listed or be able to add it with its language list editting dialog. Alternatively try Ctrl-Shift-Space and in an application and you should see a list of Languages Engines to choose from including Vietnamese. You have read the FAQ? http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html Hope that helps, Jens

[Fedora-i18n-list] May I extend IIIMF to support Vietnamese input method
by Tran Anh Tuan 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I'm a windows developer, new to Unix programming with some skills on C++, and .NET technology. I'm now studying to port into Unix programming (such as Fedora). My first interest is helping Vietnamese people can use easily input Vietnamese with built-in support. Vietnamese input method basis on latin-characters and accents. User type an accent anywhere in a word to put accent for it (for instance, a*s* or a*1*-> a'; no * s*i or noi*s* - > no'i) *(o' is an unicode character)*. In general, the rule is not complicated. - Every word have can have only one accent. Anyone idea? Sincerelly,

[Fedora-i18n-list] es_NI support
by Carlos Chavez 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello. Recently I installed Fedora Core 4 with the support for the Spanish language. When use the system-config-language only appears the Spanish-Spain language. In some messages I read that if we eliminated "SUPPORTED" of the file "/etc/sysconfig/i18n" appear all the languages; This worked, but the file es_NI seems incomplete, for example the formats for date them do not appear defined. how I can contruibuir to complete this file? Cheers. -- Carlos Chávez

[Fedora-i18n-list] Using Dhivehi Fonts
by Skywalker 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

Hello everyone, Its been over a few days I've been using linux. I have been looking for ways to use 'dhivehi' font in Fedora Core 3. Dhivehi is a language used in the Maldives and can be written from right-to-left, much like arabic with strokes below and above the letters. Since this language was not included in the keyboard layouts during initial installations, I was wondering whether there's a way to submit the keyboard map for this language. In spite of the fact that I am not a developer, I would very much like to see this language added to fedora core products along with other languages like Hindu, Tamil and Singhalese. Before I go on I would like to give you a brief overview of how this language looks like and how it ought to work in the righ-to-left cursor context. For instance, the word 'sa', if pronounced and written in dhivehi, the text would be typed (supposing the cursor now moves from right-to-left): "[|]as" where, the cursor is indicated in square brackets. The 'a' is a stroke that will appear on top of the Dhivehi letter equivalent of 's'. My request here is to see whether if there is a way to develop the keyboard layout for this language, and if it needs any participation, I would be more eager than spread the message around to Maldivian Linux Users. Since this language uses similar contextual properties found in Dhivehi, I was wondering how easy or difficult it would be to create this keyboard layout. Please find further resources about 'thaana' (script name for dhivehi language) here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~wjsn/dhivehi.htm http://www.mitf.net/index.php/news/news0300x.html Kind Regards Askholia.

by khazaee 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

hello all. I want to change the character set of a text file from CP1256 to UTF8, which one is better? : 1) use of high level library like icu or iconv from glibc. 2) low level transformation and use of wchar_t data type,(byte by byte) i mean does icu library or iconv functions do that perfectly? Or do you have any ideas? regards! H.khazaee
