New X i18n code, which Sun Microsystems contributed, is now available. http://www.x.org/download.htm
From release notes: | This is the first phase of I18N code to be released by Sun for use | with The X Window System. In this release, we have included all of | the input/output method technology as well as language and layout | engines which we could verify were the sole property of Sun or which | was otherwise suitable to be made available as open source. | | Since not all of Sun's I18N code was available for this release, we | are including some notes both on the content of the files we are | providing, and on the pieces which are currently missing, as well | as our plans for the future. Will debian include these patches/contribs? Regards, Fumitoshi UKAI
