== Input methods ==
Users of input-methods upgrading from earlier versions of Fedora may need to install ibus-gtk3 or GTK3 versions of their GTK immodules if available, in order for input-methods to continue working normally on their desktop.
[http://desktopi18n.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/ibus-xkb/ IBus XKB] feature is now available, which can add keyboard layouts as input method engines especially for European keyboards and also can customize the session keyboard layout for your input method engine.
[http://blog.du-a.org/?p=7 IBus surrounding-text] feature now allows to get the typed characters for input method engines. It can enhance Sinhala, Tamil and Thai engines with ibus-m17n.
im-chooser (via imsettings) now allows to fully disable input-methods for users that do not need X locale compose support (using XIM): so Unicode input with Control+Shift+u works again in GTK applications by default when not using input-methods like ibus.
ibus-pinyin now have a lua script extension support, it will try to load lua script in ~/.ibus/pinyin/base.lua or /usr/share/ibus-pinyin/base.lua. Press the 'i' key in single pinyin mode, it will trigger the lua script extension, and show the available lua script function input helpers in the candidate list.
ibus-anthy now has the [http://desktopi18n.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/ibus-anthy-1-2-3-was-released/ custom key table] feature. You can define the custom keys for Hiragana, Katakana and Thumb-Shift. If you see a preedit-text is not converted with F7 or F8 key, Please refer the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs#Crash_of_ibus-anthy_with_F7_or_F8_keys Release Notes].
ibus-qt now supports to draw preedit strings with colors.
== Fonts ==
=== Chinese ===
For Simplified Chinese, the default desktop font is WenQuanYi ZenHei; for Traditional Chinese, the default desktop font is UMing.
For WenQuanYi ZenHei, a simple tool zenheiset has been introduced, which allows changing its rendering between the default anti-aliased outline and bitmap rendering.
