Automatic support for Hindi? Hmm, do I live in a world different from yours? It's NOT CJ(K) BUT Hindi, Tibetan, Arabic, Hebrew, Bengali, pre-1933 Korean, Polytonic Greek (and Latin/Cyrillic with diacritic marks for which combining characters are necessary) and other complex scripts that have the largest wish list. Pango has supports for some Indic scripts and Thai script, but it doesn't yet support layout of Greek/Cyrillic/Latin with opentype layout tables. > out a way to funnel IME input through the normal character input > calls, we might well achieve CJK support in the majority of > apps. Well right now, the majority of programs in modern Linux distros DO work well with CJK IMEs. In case of gtk2 applications, they also work well with any gtk2 input modules including those for CJK. Of course, this doesn't mean that there's very little to do when it comes to CJ(K) support, but I don't share Kubota-san's concern.
