Anthy and related cygwin packages should be replaced with Anthy Unicode. Anthy Unicode https://github.com/fujiwarat/anthy-unicode It is fork of Anthy and officially approved as successor by Yusuke Tabata, the author of original Anthy. --- Yasuhiro Kimura -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
