This works. Just choose suitable fonts.
Question #1: how would I choose an appropriate font? In KWord I selected the Mincho fonts and got no text at all.
Question #2: the problem that I am experiencing is disappearing text. The codes are not being passed through to the application's input it seems.
To check whether the problem is only in the input or whether
you can't display Japanese at all in KWrite and KWord, please
try the following:
vsx0@gregory:~> export LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8
vsx0@gregory:~> locale
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8
vsx0@gregory:~> date
金 9月 13 13:21:27 CEST 2002
vsx0@gregory:~> date > test.txt
vsx0@gregory:~> kwrite test.txt &
vsx0@gregory:~> kword test.txt &
If you have usable font settings, KWord and KWrite should display the
Japanese output of 'date' correctly now.
