and OpenSolaris.
COMPONENT VERSION LICENSE TERMS
----------------------------------------
m17n-lib-core 1.5.2 LGPLv2.1
m17n-db 1.5.2 LGPLv2.1
m17n-contrib 1.1.7 LGPLv2.1
scim-m17n 0.2.2 GPLv2
2.2. Risks and Assumptions:
We would not ship the GUI interfaces in m17n library, scine it is
not adopted widely, and has many other dependencies like fribidi and
libotf.
4. Technical Description
4.1. Details:
m17n (www.m17n.org) is a library written in ANSI-C, to supports various
aspects of multilingualization (m17n) for linux/unix applications, it
provides following features:
* M-Text: string with properties which could be nested or overlapped
* character rendering engine: supports CTL and OpenType (by libotf)
* input methods: www.m17n.org/m17n-lib-en/support_input_sum.html
This project is to leverage the input methods in m17n and the scim
adapter (scim-m17n) to provide more input methods on SCIM stack.
4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
None
4.3. In Scope:
N/A
4.4. Out of Scope:
The GUI supports in m17n is not delivered.
4.5. Interfaces:
