Summary

This project (maybe a package) aims to support CJK better .

Rationale

We'd like to preconfig some file when people choose Chinese,Japenses or Korea,patch some package for support CJK better .

Use cases

Scope

Design

  • Install a default input method such as scim and make the scim started when user start X.
    1. Useful links here for Korean Input Methods ii.Scim shall be the default input method ,for you can develop a imengine easier than any others like the iiimf .,and also there are many Imengine for base on scim
  • Configure the fonts.conf, then you will get a perfect CJK fonts display .Surely,to obtain this ,we need some fonts package's support like ttf-arphic-uming ,etc.
    1. make the xfonts-wqy as the chinese default font or ttf-newsung.
  • Make user use CJK can display their mp3 file's tag correctly .
  • Let the user can read/write chinese under console.
  • Make OO2 support CJK better.
    1. Firefly has a large patch which makes OOo2 much better for Chinese.

    2. Bold patching on OOo2 in progress http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18285

    3. OOo2.1pre (src680-m137) included Firefly's patches - No extra patches required
  • Configure firefox for print CJK correctly
  • Enable embolden as default for CJK users

    1. Debian unstable has freetype 2.1.10 - Dapper has this now (2005/11/11), please take care of next two items in below.

    2. Build xft2, fontconfig, pango and cairo2 with embolden enabled
    3. This bug found on Debian's freetype 2.1.10 package, of course same with Dapper's :

      1. words in sentence are individually displayed right-upward like as several slopes. This often happens in bigger size like as web page heading than smaller, and in Konqueror and Opera than Firefox. But, a Gentoo user who had compiled xorg-x11-7.0 rc1 showed much nicer screen. Please see the screenshots in this link. http://bbs.kldp.org/viewtopic.php?t=65304&highlight= Also you might catch rendering quality by Akito's patch (top) and "embolden" (bottom) from this screenshot. Top one is much better. http://bbs.kldp.org/download.php?id=5319
