[Fedora-i18n-list] IIIMF inpinyin: Punctuations

[Lawrence Lim]

Hi Ling,
It is possible to have more than one LE installed for a single locale. 
However, at present, there is a bug. It is not possible at present for 
user to select the LE desired if more than one for the same locale exist.

Going back to the problem you encountered, I suspect you could be using 
the newpy when those situation occured. May I suggest that you manually 
remove  newpy LE by doing "rm /usr/lib/im/leif/newpy.so" and try again 
so we are sure that it is inpinyin that is causing and we will fill a 
bug against it.


Thanks,
Lawrence
