Re: tasksel: Input methods for chinese - (Was: Updating chinese-t-desktop in tasksel for Wheezy.)



I would like to request dropping the following two fonts:

* fonts-arphic-ukai
* fonts-arphic-uming

IMO there's no one really uses it, with a confusing font family names, unmaintained, and causes glitches in certain cases like the GNU gettext manual <https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntu.zh.hant/permalink/2225280084193968/> etc.

It should be replaced by Noto Serif CJK/Source Han Serif fonts.

Currently, the following set is recommended (for GNOME3 desktop) instead
of the ones above, because current GNOME3 has native support on ibus
(and probably fcitx):

ibus,
ibus-chewing,
ibus-table,
im-config,
fonts-arphic-ukai,
fonts-arphic-uming,
fonts-noto, # this seems to be unnecessary, but not really sure.
fonts-noto-cjk,
libreoffice-l10n-zh-tw,
libreoffice-help-zh-tw,
firefox-esr-l10n-zh-tw | firefox-l10n-zh-tw,
poppler-data

or we can follow task-chinese-s-desktop and use fcitx instead of ibus in
task-chinese-t-desktop:

fcitx,
fcitx-chewing,
fcitx-table,
im-config,
fonts-arphic-ukai,
fonts-arphic-uming,
fonts-noto, # this seems to be unnecessary, but not really sure.
fonts-noto-cjk,
libreoffice-l10n-zh-tw,
libreoffice-help-zh-tw,
firefox-esr-l10n-zh-tw | firefox-l10n-zh-tw,
poppler-data

Other input methods like gcin and hime are also available, but I seldom
see people using SCIM.

Just 2 cents,
Yao Wei
