Do you think they are good for > your locale? First of all, are they really CJK specific issues? We should regard these issues as not CJK specific problems but L10N ones. The other languages must have the same issues on the default settings. You should get other developers in other countries involved. I think the ideal solution for them is to construct a framework that allows every language package to have different settings. Approching with template is very good because OOo already has the default template system and its not a Writer specific feature. > 1.

In the past, we are struggled for the default font settings. Now, on Windows platform, the default font settings are suitable. On Linux platform, some users complain that the settings are not correct. However, the available Japanese fonts vary according to Linux distribution. This problem should be solved by Linux distributors because they have own OpenOffice.org packages. > 2.

Additionaly, Akiyama, one of a great contributor, pointed out the list of forbidden characters should be revised according to the normal Japanese writings. > 3.

Anyway, the default language of this mailing list is Japanese. Some other members don't understand our discussion in English. If you want to discuss this problem, please post your ideas to other suitable mailing list (l10n?) or file a new issue on IssueTracker and then tell us the start of disucssion on this mailing list. Announcing in English on this mailing list is welcomed. -- Takashi Nakamoto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [メールアドレス保護] For additional commands, e-mail: [メールアドレス保護]
