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

ghostscript and LyX-CJK
by hisha 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Dear list, I just installed SUSE9.3, japanese version, in Unicode. Basically everything works, except two snags: 1) lyx-cjk-1.3.5-3 does not allow for kanji input in the main window. I tried this after starting kinput2 -canna& LANG=ja_JP LC_XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" lyx-cjk I can see japanese text, e.g. the splash.lyx file. I can input Japanese if I open the "find" dialog, or in the lower bar, the minibuffer, and even copy and paste the result into the main window, but NOT enter Japanese directly. This worked still fine with SUSE 9.1. 2) Next, ghostview. I took an example file, like http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/vertical-orizontal-test.ps I verified that I can open this in my old SUSE8.2 and see all characters correctly. Next, I open it with gs as normal user in 9.3, from bash. The result are Mojibake and the messages: --- gs vertical-horizontal-test.ps ESP Ghostscript 8.15 (2004-09-22) Copyright (C) 2004 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved.

Hebrew Type1 font problem
by hermanmeester 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there might be some font experts around. For Hebrew (working in Suse Linux 9.1), I downloaded a couple of free to use fonts via http://culmus.sourceforge.net/ That's all legal and permitted etc, and it worked for a few weeks, but suddenly the fonts didn't come out anymore in OpenOffice. I'm not sure if this is a pure "m17n" question but please don't throw me out yet ;-) I installed the fonts (which are PostScript Type1 fonts) in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 directory. First I just put the file, which was a tar.gz file, there as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/culmus-0.101.tar.gz This worked for a while. So I guess when importing the fonts, those files were automatically "unzipped"? Later I installed a few Arabic Truetype fonts in the same way (except in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype of ocurse, but that didn't work. Apparently these were not unzipped ("de-compressed") automatically? So I took the compressed files out, by saving them somewhere else, and installed them all manually. Now that (still) works. The Arabic fonts all look perfect (but they're truetype). I configured all the fonts as active, but I can't find anywhere in any OpenOffice FAQ or such, what I did wrong. Can free fonts just "expire"? Even if they're designed for free use? Then I also have some directory called /usr/share/fonts/he/Type1 Here, "/he/" must stand for Hebrew. There, those fonts are also stored, I guess uncompressed. I didn't make that directory, I don't know who did ;-) Does that have anything to do with it? (Hebrew is the main Complex-Text-Layout (CTL) enabled language for OOo on my system.) I didn't want to bother you, but I thought the problem is interesting, anyway I'm getting to understand less of how fonts work everyday. Thanks and regards, Herman

playing windows games on suse 9.3
by Joshua Raphael Fuentes 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Ey.. I'm using suse 9.3 professional and it's a really damn good software. I just have this bit of a problem. I've been trying to run Warcraft 3 using wine. I'm just using the default wine included on the package, and have not updated yet. Anyway, my problem is that when I try to run it, it asks for the cd, when in fact my cd is just in my drive. If I try to run the installation that I had on a windows partition, it still asks thesame thing . So, how do I solve this? I've read from some sites that they are sucessfull in doing that one, but how. I've already tried winex and crossover office to run it, but I still got thesame results. Any suggestions on how I could run frozen throne on linux? -- REGISTERED LINUX USER # 393260 there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't

Hi, The workaround couldn't resolve the issue of firefox plugin, because it's a shared object rather than a startup script. We must force firefox to use xim, otherwise nppdf.so will crash firefox. I think maybe we should push Adobe to release a new acroread binary version which is linked against libstdc++.so.6, rather than the old one.
