old vs new KCM differences
SUMMARY
Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to set the user's preference for CJK
characters such as 今 and 置 that are displayed differently across Chinese,
Korean and Japanese.
Before the language/format KCM merge, after much trouble, I discovered it was
possible to change this using Region in the old KCM (a crude solution). See
attachment, tested on Kubuntu 22.04 with Plasma 5.24.
However setting the region isn't available in the new KCM. I'm unable to find a
way to switch away from Japanese character variants on Fedora, even when the
system's primary language is set to Chinese.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On a recent Fedora KDE, install with English as the system language (maybe
not needed)
2. It displays Japanese variants by default
3. Add Chinese to the language list in an attempt to display Chinese variants
and restart session
4. It doesn't work
OBSERVED RESULT
There seems to be no way to set this preference.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a way to set unicode CJK preference in the systemsettings GUI.
The way this works e.g. on Windows and Android is that if there is
Chinese/Japanese in the language list (even as a secondary one below the
primary UI language), the system displays that language's variants of affected
characters whenever possible.
Is there something KDE can do about this and apply the appropriate setting to
the system according to the language list so that this is achieved?
