| <Puntsok> This is Chris Walker in Bloomington. I've come to a few of the BLUG meetings (Bloomington). I justed want to say hi! | |
| <Puntsok> I'm now using Ubuntu 6.10 and seeing how it handles Unicode Tibetan characters | |
| <Puntsok> So far, I'm not having a lot of luck, as I probably need a more recent version of Pango, and need to compile or otherwise configure the applications to use pango to display the complex characters correctly. | |
| <po0f> Which application? Any in particular, or all of them? | |
| <Puntsok> howdy... Firefox in particular. Just experimenting with a small educational application called KVocTrain (vocabulary flash cards) I noticed that complex script rendering *is* working if the application is calling pango correctly. | |
| <Puntsok> I've been searching around Ubuntu help forums and there's a bit of discussion there, I'll send the link... | |

| <Puntsok> I'm fairly new to Linux... but I'm a quick study :) | |
| <Puntsok> I was successful in bringing in a Tibetan keyboard method in (which is a separate issue from correct Unicode Tibetan screen rendering) | |
| <Puntsok> I was a module for use in SCIM called "Keyman for Linux." | |
| <Puntsok> Keyman was originally a Windows application that used it's own scripting language for user defined keyboard methods | |
| <po0f> Have you tried looking at the mozilla-firefox-locale-* packages for an appropriate one? | |
| <Puntsok> I defined one for Tibetan some time ago, and was getting some positive feedback from people using Linux that the keyboard script was working, so now I see for myself. | |
| <Puntsok> A local for Tibetan... I did check the suggest link for Firefox 2 and didn't find a Tibetan localization. I remember in the forum that someone said if an approriate locale was set then Pango would kick in? | |
| <Puntsok> I guess Firefox was made not to use Pango because it ran slower that way. | |
| <po0f> I think you're just going to have to google a Tibetan locale and create one yourself. | |
| <Puntsok> Okay, thanx... I'll tackle this one eventually! cheers. | |
| <SimonAnibal> Is it my imagination, or is the nick list a little longer today... | |
| <SimonAnibal> Hey there, po0f! | |
| <SimonAnibal> I'm glad to see you outside of the forums | |
| <SimonAnibal> Well, goodbye all | |
| <po0f> Whoops. | |
