Hi community members,
I freshly installed my pinephone with postmarketOS ("pmos" for short) and where able to let pmos to display traditional Chinese characters (by placing fonts inside /usr/share/fonts, through SD Card jump drive method ) in my contact list (through a vcf file from my samsung phone) and in firefox visiting some Chinese website. However, I just could not found a way to input any Chinese characters in pmos.
Back on my desktop with Linux installed, I have ibus-cangjie installed and have been using it for a very long time. As I see "Ibus" is a part of the package available in the apk application list, so I thought ibus-cangjie could be installable (or probably I could use it to input Chinese? I understand there is no Chinese virtual keyboard available either). I went through installing "git", "gcc", "m4", "automake", "gettext", and spending countless hours try to install cangjie and yet still unable to establish anything with inputing Chinese.
Is there a simple solution for inputing Chinese characters? Or am I just over doing it? Or I did not dig deep enough? Any input are all welcome.
