No compose characters possible with asian language setting
by akimbo337＠gmx.de 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello! I'm currently using SuSE 9.0 pro for both german and japanese input. This works fine so far, by setting the variables LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.UTF-8 and LANG to de_DE.UTF-8, but nevertheless I experienced a problem: With the LC_CTYPE set to japanese and an input method running (currently kinput2), I cannot type european language compose characters any more - at least the ones I used to produce with two sequent keystrokes ( ´ and e for é for example). The rest of my (german) keyboard layout works all fine, and with LC_CTYPE set to german, é's, à's, ô's, etc pose no problem, but then, of course, I cannot input japanese... This problem seems also to be existent for other language settings that use an input method, I tried it out with a friend who uses chinese input (also on SuSE 9.0 pro). We (my friend and I) are currently writing an article about asian language input with StarOffice/OOo, so we would really appreciate any help or hint concerning this problem. Thanks. Marcel Boeing

Accented char not present
by Benoît Dubé 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

Hi, I try since many days to set correctly the console to have accented characters. I'm usig SUSE 9.2, freshly installed. I have choose french-canadian as keyboard layout which should load cf.map.gz which include the line "compose as usual 8859-1". The keyboard is correctly set but the compose isn't working. In console i can't get accented characters. Also, with Opera Web browser, over KDE, Opera isn't get accented chars. It just display `e instead of egrave. I suppose Opera isn't take the X config because other apps as Kwrite or OpenOffice have correct accents. With all the behavior i can observe, i think the problem is when the keyboard driver try to compose. Here is an excerpt of dumpkeys --compose-only: compose '`' 'A' to ' compose '`' 'a' to ' compose '\'' 'A' to ' compose '\'' 'a' to ' compose '^' 'A' to ' compose '^' 'a' to ' compose '~' 'A' to ' compose '~' 'a' to ' compose '"' 'A' to ' compose '"' 'a' to ' compose 'O' 'A' to ' In YAST, under sysconfig, hardware, keyboard, i have the following value pair: cf.map.gz for KEYTABLE latin1.add for COMPOSETABLE I try some other combinations, utf8 instead of latin1.add, with and without clear keyword. But my composetable seems always empty. A clue? Thanks Ben Quebec, Canada

SuSE Linux availability in PT-pt language
by Antonio Cardoso Martins 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hello, Can anyone give me some directions on how to contribute to the availability of SuSE Linux in Portuguese-Portugal (PT-pt) language? I have been looking and, this seemed the best place to ask. The only Portuguese language available is PT-br, and SuSE linux is getting more acceptance in Portugal, i would like to contribute to the eventual translation, mainly YaST, knowing that KDE and Gnome is already translated to PT-pt. Best regards -- ----------------------------------------- Antonio Cardoso Martins digiplan(a)netvisao.pt (home) acmartins(a)hal.min-saude.pt (work) -----------------------------------------

scim problem
by Rowdy Rednose 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Hello List, just installed the SuSE 9.2 scim-packages on my 9.0 box. In ~/.profile I export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and in ~/.xim I export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" instead of the commented out line # export XMODIFIERS="@im=local" (almost at the end of that file). After starting skim (or scim-gtk, doesn't matter, which one I use) and then restarting X, skim appears in the taskbar. But I can't select an input method there. I need to start an application via LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 <appnam> in order to be able to choose the input method in skim/scim-gtk (for that particular program only). A echo $XMODIFIERS in konsole returns @im=SCIM as expected. What do I have to do to make this work for all apps?

こんばんわ、rumi. 風邪どですか？手術の後も少しゆっくりした方が良かったでしたね。ね is feminin,男ど言うこと分からない、教えてください。) 昨晩こんぴゅーたーを開いた時びっくりした。その早くメールを待ち受けなかったです。私の電話で放言rumiにはその効＝shockだったはずです。もう一度ごめんなさい。夜中までと今日小半日メールをいっしょけんめい勉強しました。意味はほとんど分かったと思いますけど勉強のため頭の中今空です。だから那須にいる時そのトピク話しましょう。それまでワルタはrumiが大好きです、言うだけは十分ですか？今の所おもしろい本を読んでいます：村上はるきさんの：Norwayの森、もちろんドイツ語で。rumiは知ってますか？おやすみなさい。

About Mined: Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive and easy-to-use user interface and fast, small-footprint behaviour. It was the first editor that provided Unicode support in a plain-text terminal. It now has both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering many specific features and covering special cases that other editors are not aware of (like auto-detection features and automatic handling of terminal variations, or Han character information). And basically, it is an editor tailored to efficient editing of plain text documents and programs, with features and interactive behaviour designed for this purpose. Mined Overview Good interactive features * Intuitive user interface * Logical and consistent concept of navigating and editing text (without ancient line-end handling limitations or insert/append confusion) * Supports various control styles: Editing with command control, function key control, or menu control Navigation by cursor keys, control keys, mouse or scrollbar * Comprehensive menus (driven by keyboard or mouse) * "HOP" key paradigm doubles the number of navigation functions that can be most easily reached and remembered by intuitively amplifying the associated function * Immediate adjustment if the window size is changed, in any state of interaction Versatile character encoding support * Extensive Unicode support, including double-width and combining characters, script highlighting, various methods of character input support (mapped keyboard input methods, mnemonic and numeric input), supporting CJK, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Arabic, and other scripts * Support of bidirectional terminals, Arabic ligature joining * East Asian character set support: handling of major CJK encodings (including GB18030 and full EUC-JP with combining characters) in either Unicode terminal or CJK terminal * Support for a variety of 8 bit encodings (mapped to Unicode) (with combining characters for Vietnamese and Thai) * Support of CJK input methods by enhanced keyboard mapping including multiple choice mappings (handled by a pick list menu); characters in the pick list being sorted by relevance of Unicode ranges * Han character information with description and pronunciation * Auto-detection of text character encoding, edits files with mixed character encoding sections (e.g. mailboxes), transparent handling of UTF-16 encoded files * Auto-detection of UTF-8 / CJK terminal mode and detailed features (like different Unicode width and combining data versions) * Encoding support tested with: xterm, mlterm, hanterm, cxterm, rxvt, linux console Many useful text editing capabilities * Many text editing features, e.g. paragraph wrapping, auto-indentation and back-tab, smart quotes (with quotation marks style selection and auto-detection) and smart dashes * Search and replacement patterns can have multiple lines * Cross-session paste buffer (copy/paste between multiple - even subsequent or remote - invocations of mined) * Marker stack for quick return to previous text positions * Multiple paste buffers (emacs-style) * Program editing features, HTML support and syntax highlighting, identifier and function definition search, also across files; structure input support * Text and program layout features; auto-indentation and undent function (back-tab), numbered item justification * Systematic text and file handling safety, avoiding loss of data * Visible indications of special text contents (TAB characters, different line-end types, character codes that cannot be displayed in the current mode) * Full binary transparent editing with visible indications (illegal UTF-8 or CJK, mixed line end types, NUL characters, ...) * Print function that works in all text encodings * Optional emacs command mode Small-footprint operation and portability * Plain text mode (terminal) operation, supporting wide range of terminals * Instant start-up * Runs on many platforms: Unix (Linux/Sun/HP/BSD/Mac and more), DOS (djgpp), Windows (cygwin) * Makefiles also support legacy systems More information (with screenshots and change log) and download are available from the mined web page at http://towo.net/mined/ -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
