Next: Legalese and miscellaneous
Up: Linux Japanese Extensions Howto
Previous: jxsi disk set
We plan to improve the following aspects of JE.
- (1) More and better documentation:
Works of JF members will be made available in the jd disk set.
Most major HOWTOs, Japanese FAQs and others are ready to come.
- (2) More varieties of Emacs:
New emacs package with temacs is under development.
- (3) XFree86 with Ximp extensions:
Some people prefer Ximp to Xsi, another implementation of
internationalized X.
- (4) Reform of fonts:
/usr/share/fonts is the new candidate to store Japanese fonts.
PK fonts for TeX might be removed from JE.
- (5) Evolution toward Multilingual Extensions:
Give us your opinions ! JE developers are not specialists in all
languages.
JE was originally compiled as an extension of the SLS distribution of
Linux, but the developers are moving toward Slackware while keeping
their eyes on the Debian package.
