Note: this report replaces bug report "Bug#652412: ibus-table-sawndip-yaemlai: Intent to Package" which was reported using an incorrect format * Package: ibus-table-sawndip-yaemlai Upstream Author : John Knightley <john.knight...@gmail.com> URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibus-table-sawn Depends: ibus-table (>= 1.1.0.20090527) Architecture: all License : GPL version 3 Suggests : ttf-arphic-sawndip Description : Input method for Zhuang Sawndip based on table engine of ibus IBus-Table is the IM Engine framework for table-based input methods. This package provides one input method sawndip-yaemlai. Sawndip-yaemlai is a input method the uses the Zhuang pronunciation to type Zhuang Sawndip which is the traditional script for Zhuang which uses Chinese characters. Zhuang is the mother tongue of over 10 million people in Guangxi China. Significance : First Linux IME for Zhuang Sawndip. This IME is compatible with the open source online Zhuang Sawndip IME hosted by Guangxi University since 2008 at http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/ (latest version http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/legacy/sawndip0619.html). Other: Whilst the IME itself does not depend upon any fonts, without appropriate fonts installed the end user will not be able to see the Sawndip characters. To be able to see all characters a complete set of CJK, or Chinese, fonts is recommended along with a font like Sawndip.ttf which uses PUA codepoints for others characters not currently in unicode. The font Sawndip.ttf will be availalble in the package ttf-arphic-sawndip, or the latest stable release can be downloaded from http://gdzhdb.l10n-support.com/sawndip-fonts/Sawndip.ttf
