Description:
Under gnome, emacs is suppose to communicate with ibus when I select Tamil(tamil99(m17n)) input in gnome. All the other gtk applications working except emacs. If I select same xkb based input Tamil(TamilNet'99) in gnome, emacs works fine. Additional info: * package version(s) local/emacs 27.2-1 local/ibus 1.5.25-3 local/ibus-m17n 1.4.7-1 local/libibus 1.5.25-3 local/m17n-db 1.8.0-3 local/m17n-lib 1.8.0-10 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install above packages in gnome desktop environment 2. goto settings->keyboard->input sources->add Tamil(tamil99(m17n)) 3. start emacs (gui) 4. switch the input source to Tamil(tamil99(m17n)) and type something, emacs should show Tamil Text, but it shows english text 5. goto settings->keyboard->input sources->remove Tamil(tamil99(m17n))->add Tamil(TamilNet'99) 6. start emacs (gui) 7. switch the input source to Tamil(TamilNet'99) and type something, emacs properly shows tamil text emacs not at all communicating with ibus when we switch the input source to ibus based Tamil(tamil99(m17n)), but works properly when using xkb based Tamil(TamilNet'99). |

Once I installed ttf-dejavu, everything started working again.
In the bug report, they are talking about bitmap font dependency in emacs, when I looked into ttf-dejavu, I only see ttf files, there is no bitmap files. Something happend when I installed ttf-dejavu (may be font cache broken and ttf-dejavu fixed it? some other thing?) which fixed my issue.
