HOWTO baybayin
Baybayin input in Yudit with Baybayin.kmap Introduction ------------ Babayin in the ancient writing system of the Tagalog people and other tribes in the Philippines. It is a syllabary with 3 vowels, 14 consonants and 2 punctuation marks. Later in time, a virama or vowel killer was added. Installation ------------ It is assumed in this document that you have already installed yudit in your machine. 1. Download a unicode baybayin font preferably the opentype font "bbyiOT.ttf" and the keymap "Baybayin.my" from http://tagalog.ws. 2. Copy "bbyiOT.ttf" or any unicode baybayin font to /usr/share/yudit/fonts/ or ~/.yudit/fonts/ 3. After that modify /usr/share/config/yudit.properties or ~/.yudit/yudit.properties with a text editor. Add a your new font by inserting the following line: yudit.font.MyFont=bbyiOT.ttf,... You can use this font in the editor window if you add it to: yudit.editor.fonts=.../MyFont,... 4. Copy "Baybayin.my" /usr/share/yudit/data/ or ~/.yudit/data/ 5. Start Yudit and select Myfont for fonts and Baybayin for keymap. Now you can start typing in baybayin. Have fun!
