scim-anthy: new package for SuSE 9.2
by Mike FABIAN 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I made a new package for SuSE 9.2, scim-anthy. It is available here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/9.2/i586/scim-anthy-0.2.0-0.1.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/9.2/src/scim-anthy-0.2.0-0.1.src.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/m17n/9.2/x86_64/scim-anthy-0.2.0-0.1.x86_64… If you are using SCIM to input Japanese and have used uim-anthy via SCIM so far, you may find scim-anthy useful. It comes with a nice, graphical configuration module, i.e. you can easily setup key-bindings and other settings just by clicking on the setup icon in the SCIM taskbar. For other advantages over uim-anthy see: http://lists.sourceforge.jp/mailman/archives/scim-imengine-dev/2004-Novembe… -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

What progs modify /etc/fonts/local.conf file?
by Philip Amadeo Saeli 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

SuSE Linux 9.2 Professional: What program(s) modify the config file /etc/fonts/local.conf? It seems to have been updated automatically recently. Also, the files /etc/fonts/Fontmap and ~/.fonts.conf were also updated at the same time (within one minute). I've already looked at fonts-config and that doesn't seem to be it. I'm chasing down some font problems on my system (related to Chinese fonts) and am trying to figure out why the number of font entries listed via the various utilities (e.g., xlsfonts, xfontsel, fc-list) keeps changing even though I've not installed or removed any fonts nor have I attempted to alter their configuration. I did run the KDE Font Installer and simply browsed what fonts were installed, but did not make any changes, though additional font entries appeared after that run. Also, the fonts module of SuSEconfig runs (along with all the other SuSEconfig modules) every time I install any updates via YOU, and several font entries disappeared after the most recent run. Help! I've read through the Administration Guide section on X11 fonts as well as the relevant sections of the suse-cjk web pages and anything else I could get my hands on. Thanks, Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE Linux 9.2 psaeli(a)zorodyne.com

Japanese Fonts for OpenOffice lead to KMail Crashes
by Matthias Seeger 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Dear List, I am using SuSE 9.0 with KDE, Canna and KInput2 in UTF-8. Everything went well so far. However, in OpenOffice the little Hiragana あ/a would not appear when activating Canna. Furthermore, in the spreadsheet programme, there is no japanese for the upper editing field. I tried unsucessfully some settings in the font replacement settings. The only way to solve both problems was to install Arial Unicode MS fonts. Then, OpenOffice worked perfectly with Japanese, however, the computer would freeze for some 30 seconds when during the start of OpenOffice. But now I am facing big problems with KMail. It just crashes when opening certain mails with Japanese contents. I used YaST2 in order to force a reinstall of the efont-unicode and it worked for a short time. Questions: - Is there another solution to get perfect Japanese support for OpenOffice instead of Arial Unicode MS? - Can I repair my system (e.g. by reinstaling some rpms) or must I reinstall SuSE? Sorry, but I have no idea what could have went wrong so please forgive me that I cannot provide more information. Thanks in advance for any hint. Matthias

SuSE 9.1 / KOI8-R locale
by Mark Goldstein 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Hello, I tried to setup KOI8-R locale using YaST2 sysconfig module (system->environment->language). It turned out, that this module uses the line: ## Type: string(POSIX,ca_ES.ISO-8859-1,ca_ES.UTF-8,cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2,cs_CZ.UTF-8,da_DE@euro,da_DK.ISO-8859-1,da_DK.UTF-8,de_DE@euro,de_DE.ISO-8859-1,de_DE.UTF-8,el_GR.ISO-8859-7,el_GR.UTF-8,en_GB.ISO-8859-1,en_GB.UTF-8,en_IE@euro,en_IE.ISO-8859-1,en_US.ISO-8859-1,es_ES@euro,es_ES.ISO-8859-1,es_ES.UTF-8,fr_FR@euro,fr_FR.ISO-8859-1,fr_FR.UTF-8,gl_ES@euro,gl_ES.ISO-8859-1,gl_ES.utf-8,hr_HR.ISO-8859-2,hu_HU.ISO-8859-2,hu_HU.UTF-8,it_IT@euro,it_IT.ISO-8859-1,it_IT.UTF-8,ja_JP.eucJP,ja_JP.UTF-8,lt_LT.ISO-8859-13,lt_LT.UTF-8,nl_NL@euro,nl_NL.ISO-8859-1,nl_NL.UTF-8,ru_RU.ISO-8859-5,ru_RU.KOI8R,ru_RU.UTF-8,sk_SK.ISO-8859-2,sk_SK.UTF-8,tr_TR.ISO-8859-9,tr_TR.UTF-8,ko_KR.eucKR,ko_KR.UTF-8,zh_TW.Big5,zh_TW.UTF-8,zh_CN.GB2312,zh_CN.UTF-8) from /etc/sysconfig/language to build its "drop-down" list of possible locales. So the locale I wanted looked like ru_RU.KOI8R This is incompatible with X applications. Only after I changed the above line to ... ru_RU.KOI8-R the locale was setup correctly and X could work with it. Well, probably everybody else just edit the proper files manualy? Am I missing something? Should it be KOI8-R or KOI8R? Or both should work? Regards, Mark ===== Mark Goldstein __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

SuSE 8.2 UTF8 install
by David Nettles 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Can I install SuSE 8.2 to use UTF8 for everything? I have a SuSE 9.1 environment where everything is UTF8, but I have some SuSE 8.2 environments that I need to install. I really want them to particpate using UTF8 for filenames and text content (so that files wont have to be converted going from machine to machine). Is this doable? -- David Nettles web: http://www.miteyo.org email: tetsuoni3000(a)yahoo.co.jp
