Indic Dictionary support in Fedora

Hi,
 Information has been added now on current support of dictionaries in
Fedora for Indic languages. You can find it here => 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Indic#Dictionaries

Also, remember that we are using hunspell packages as primary dictionary
for spell checking. So, if for any languages hunspell dictionary is not 
present then aspell dictionary is searched. If aspell is also not 
present then ispell package for that language is searched. This is 
current fallback order used in Fedora.

Regards,
Parag.

[announcement] fedora-i18n-bugs list

A new bugs mailing-list fedora-i18n-bugs has been setup to track Fedora i18n related bugs in bugzilla.  It
will also be used for autocc'ing (initialcc) of i18n related Fedora packages.

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-i18n-bugs

The list will be fairly high traffic but give people a way to track i18n issues also in the archives or in bugzilla.

Thanks, Jens

Fwd: Gnu FreeFont -- new release

I am not really familiar with this font, but since it covers quite a number of scripts it looks interesting at
least, so forwarding for any comments?  Would it be useful to include in Fedora?

Jens

A major release has been made of GNU FreeFont, including many
technical improvements, the addition and removal of some script
ranges, and many bug fixes.

Download it at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/
Find versions dated 20080912

FreeFont home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/

See below for more details, and the release ChangeLog file for even more.

Thanks to all the people who wrote in with recommendations!

==========================================================================
Main changes

So many sweeping changes were made, that they are difficult to characterize.

They seem to be a nice set of 'clean' (in the legal sense) fonts,
would be good to have them included.

Ok - then a followup question is: do we need all of them?  Who owns
the comps sets for $lang-support?
Adding fedora-i18n-list and fedora-fonts-list to CC - if you guys are
able to cut any of the fonts, particularly the larger ones it would
help us greatly.
