Comment 3 for bug 329375

I know (and have known for a long time). I'm working on it. The delay is due to my desire to avoid regressing support for Japanese speakers. The current package includes a very extensive patch to support CJK languages, which is essentially impossible to forward-port beyond the current version. However, now that 1.20 is out, we're not very far from being able to use a much simpler method to do the same thing, which can actually be accepted upstream. Brian M. Carlson started on this last year, but apparently got stalled; I'm working on finishing the job he started now.
