All this week, we will be testing for  i18n features in Fedora 29. Those are as follows:

  • Liberation Fonts 2 – Liberation 2.00.3 has wider character coverage and automated hinting instructions.
  • CJK Default To Noto FontsThis change will provides better quality of rendering for all of Chinese, Japanese and Korean  characters. We will now have default installed Serif face for Japanese and Korean, and also a Monospace face for all of CJK languages and keep consistencies in look among those typefaces.
  • IBUS 1.5.19 – Now users can type either emoji annotation or Unicode names on the current application and see the composing text before the final committed text is output.
