No compose characters possible with asian language setting

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

[opensuse-m17n] CJK font display more broken in 10.2
by PILCH Hartmut 19 Mar '07

Hi, Already in SuSE 10.1 only those han characters that are present in the Japanese charsets (JIS) were reliably rendered in x11 applications, even if all CJK languages (including traditional and simplified Chinese) were specified as languages in YaST. When typing the chinese greeting ni3 hao3 你好 nin2 hao3 您好 the first of either of the two was represented by a square. This is now still the case in SuSE 10.2. But things got worse. In SuSE 10.1 Emacs was an asylum where everything worked. With SuSE 10.2 Emacs is no longer any different, except in that it refuses to accept SCIM input, as I reporterd earlier. Sorry to dump these raw findings on the list. I haven't had time to investigate further. -- Hartmut Pilch http://a2e.de/phm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] scim inaccessible from emacs
by PILCH Hartmut 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hi, After upgrading to opensuse 10.2, I can no longer input anything with SCIM in Emacs. The usual keys Ctl-Spc and Ctl-Alt-Spc are occupied by Emacs bindings ('set-mark-command', 'mark-sexp'). Previously these X11 system seemed to take precedence over the Emacs bindings, but this is now no longer the case. In other windows, such as 'konsole', scim works fine. The problem is the same in other window managers such as ratpoison. KDE has an additional intersting problem: Ctl-Alt-Spc invokes the KBeagle search tool, even from Emacs. This imho shows that X11 can take precedence over Emacs even in the new system, if configured that way. But how do I configure it ? -- Hartmut Pilch 裴寒牧ピルヒ・ハルトムート http://a2e.de/phm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

I install in a old small harddisk using de_DE.UTF-8 then install 3 fonts in http://swyear.no-ip.org/yast_source/10.2/rpms/ it won't do any help like you had descripted seem qt-based program will prefer unscalable font to show Chinese characters but in my desktop using zh_TW.UTF-8 locale can show correct characters my suggestion: 1.if only web browser bother you use firefox instead 2.if you prefer konqueror start konqueror by a terminal and export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 first you can write a script to do this 3.if you want all qt-based program can do this change your locale to zh_CN.UTF-8 but don't install kde-i18n-zh-CN packages to keep your ui German edit /etc/sysconfig/language change RC_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" to RC_LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8" then run SuSEconfig and restart your session hope this helps ___________________________________________________ 您的生活即時通－溝通、娛樂、生活、工作一次搞定！ http://messenger.yahoo.com.tw/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

I am a Traditional Chinese SuSE user for long times, we must install true-type fonts for our need if you use zh_CN locale, you can install ttf-founder-* fonts from dvd or addon cd then FZSungTi will provide a better font rendering with embeddedbitmap but for zh_TW FZMingTi do not have bitmap font! so in small font size, this font won't do any help for you For zh_TW locale users we always use fireflysung http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/ or uming http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fCJKUnifonts we have post these in wishlist http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Various seems no one cares we hve to DIY for our need :) you can find rpm for opensuse 10.2 here: http://swyear.no-ip.org/yast_source/10.2/rpms/ for kde users must uninstall ttf-founder-* fonts (I don't know why, this bothers me for a long time) if you stll think fonts are too small use http://swyear.no-ip.org/yast_source/download/20-minimal-font-size.conf put this config file to /etc/fonts/conf.d/ ___________________________________________________ 您的生活即時通－溝通、娛樂、生活、工作一次搞定！ http://messenger.yahoo.com.tw/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
