Hi, I ran in to a small problem when trying to type 'අන්යෝන්ය' using OpenOffice. It renders differently from the applications which are using pango (Gedit, Firefox). Any body know how to fix this in OOo? thanks. Sudheera P.S.: I couldn't find a list for the reporting bugs, if there's a one kindly forward this mail to it. |

Hi Sudheera, 1) Can you give some version numbers of the applications used and the distro? 2) Can you please send a small screenshot? 3) Input (typing) and rendering are two different issues/components. So to work out where the problem is, first type the word in gedit and then copy and paste it to Open Office. If copy and pasting renders it correctly on both gedit and Open Office. Then the problem is the input method and not the renderer. I've added you to the accepted filter, so you can send emails to this mailing list without being subscribed nor moderated. cya, # On Mon, 2008-02-25 at 14:06 +0530, Sudheera R.

Hi Sudheera, Thanks for the additional info. I was able to reproduce the problem you reported. I'll have a look at it. And please remember to CC the list too when you reply. Are you interested in doing i18n development/bugfixing on the GNU/Linux libraries? cya, # On Thu, 2008-02-28 at 17:37 +0530, Sudheera R.

Can you point me to some resources (i.e: a how-to) on the subject, some thing to get an understanding about what goes in to achieving i18n in apps. -- Sudheera p.s: whats the status on the 'අන්යෝන්ය' problem.

You can start here: http://www.nongnu.org/sinhala/doc/howto/sinhala-howto.html and if you find a particular area interesting, e.g. Pango/Harfbuzz/ICU, then have a look at their website and join their mailing lists too. > p.s: whats the status on the 'අන්යෝන්ය' problem. I'm working on the Debian packaging of m17n at the moment, next I'll look at this. But if you are interested, download the ICU source and have a look through: source/layout/IndicClassTables.cpp source/layout/IndicLayoutEngine.cpp source/layout/IndicLayoutEngine.h source/layout/IndicRearrangement.h source/layout/IndicRearrangementProcessor.cpp source/layout/IndicRearrangementProcessor.h source/layout/IndicReordering.cpp source/layout/IndicReordering.h Be careful, not to break any Indian scripts in the process of fixing this problem. > Is it a problem that could be solved easily or do we have to wait for > the next OOo (or the ICU) release? Most people would not get the fix till the next ICU release, but in the meantime we can patch and maintain ICU packages. cya, # |

I've opened an ICU bug and provided a patch. http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/6232 I'm discussing this with Eric at the moment, my fix touches the state table. i.e. a fundamental change. Eric is going to check if there's a simpler way to fix the problem. If you are familiar with patching deb packages, grab the ICU deb source package and add the patch. Just note that the patch is against ICU 3.8.1 which maybe newer than the version on your distro. Additional testing would be appreciated. cya, # |

Hi, My patch has been checked into ICU: http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/changeset/23999 When ICU 4.0 is released, you'll get the patch along with it. cya, # On Wed, 2008-04-02 at 22:49 +1100, Harshula wrote: > Hi Sudheera, > > On Mon, 2008-03-10 at 15:15 +0530, Sudheera R.

This is excellent news. I submitted the following bugreport to Debian. Harshula, please add your comments. As you have already given a very comprehensive report on the upstream bugreport, just confirming that it is fixed upstream should be good enough. I will also add a report to xetex, as they also use a custom ICU 3.8.1. Anuradha -- http://www.sayura.net/anuradha/ |

Hi all, Sorry for the long silence. Been a bit busy lately. I've been using Ubuntu 7.04 upto now and spent the last few days installing 8.04 on my system. Working on the packing stuff again. I'll first build one for scim-wijesekera and then work my way through others. Dushara. 2008/6/9 Harshula <har...@gm...>: > Hi Sudheera, > > On Thu, 2008-05-29 at 22:51 +0530, Sudheera R.
