With the 0.3.6 release, I can finally try the new pyunihan IME. In
general, it works, it really gives me a LOT of kanjis to choice from.
However, the available ordering of the kanji is quite funky -- it seems
like Vietnamese kanjis (unique to only Vietnam) are always showing up
first. For a simple test of typing ni hao ma (你好嗎), ni is the 31st
choice, hao the 34th choice, and ma the 19th choice (the simplified
version at 17) I guess it works, but it feels very tedious (and funky!) 
to weed thru all these strange, exotic-looking, Vietnamese kanjis.

謝謝 (wow, the 190th choice!)

Duncan.
