> - rxvt-ml > + rxvt-beta In fact, rxvt-beta is a very stable release of rxvt project, not beta. It has much better i18n support then rxvt-ml, and can select default encoding through runtime arguments or Xresources.
> + mlterm-tools Through mlterm-tools, users may change encodings on the fly. It is very useful for Chinese users. > - m17n-env > + im-switch Etch's and Sid's m17n-env is somewhat obsolete now. It is recommended to use im-switch instead, to configure input method. For newbies, im-switch is very convenient to enable input methods automatically. > + xfonts-wqy It is a bitmap font especially designed for Chinese. Bitmap font is very important for Chinese users to have a clear and easy-to-read GUI interface. > - xcin > + gcin Xcin is an old and obsolete XIM server. Its upstream author has stopped working for several years. It has poor UTF-8 support, and does not support im-switch. It depends on X core font, and does not support freetype / xft / fontconfig. Gcin is a mature and actively maintained input method server. It supports GTK and QT immodules, XIM, UTF-8, and im-switch very well. It is the most popular input method server among traditional Chinese users. > - pydict > + stardict Pydict's upstream author no longer maintains it. Stardict is the most popular dictionary application among Chinese users. > - kde-i18n-zhtw Active KDE users in Taiwan are few. This package depends on kdelibs4c2a, which will occupy much hard disk space. > - ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp > + ttf-arphic-uming Ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp is a subset of ttf-arphic-uming. Most Chinese users use ttf-arphic-uming much more than ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp. > - firefox-locale-zh-tw It is obsolete. > + paps It is a printing support package based on pango, which supports Chinese quite well. -- Wen-Yen Chuang (caleb) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
