Hi, 

(In reply to comment #5)

This is the candidate sorting problem which is another problem. It is a bug
from upstream release tarball and I am still yet to patch it. I am filing
another bug ticket in regard to that.

Precisely, the tables is not unstable but has 'dynamic sorting' which it will
adjust the order during learning the usage frequency on characters along time.
So 'hp pgdn 8' may not map to 徳 because the order is keep updated in every
input of 'hp' key. At this stage there is no GUI way to turn this off. Before
the GUI switch is available, it needs to be done by flag off the dynamic order
in table source and rebuild the table manually.

Also, for those characters that were not displayed properly on your computer,
they are actually real character w/o corresponded glyphs of font on the system.
I agreed those characters are 'less used' ones and should be at the bottom of
the candidate list. I will keep communicate to upstream developer about this.

All fonts are installed and this problem

SCIM actually contains much less range of characters than IBus.

I have read that and replied a while ago.

> IBUS sucks  

I do think IBus might not be a superset to SCIM at this stage, though IBus is
more advanced on some aspects. IBus actually are not the source of the
unhappiness you mentioned, IBus-Table instead.

I encourage you to use SCIM now, if you prefer an older but more reliable
(currently) technology. It is not difficult to install SCIM via yum and switch
SCIM as default by 'im-chooser'.

Thank you very much for your valuable information.
