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] Recent SCIM fixes
by Wataru Tenga 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

After issuing a bug report about crashes in KDE programs when SCIM is in double-byte character input mode, I was told on the KDE bug list that the problem was between SCIM and QT, and learned that Mike Fabian had uploaded a fix. I then tracked down the updated SCIM and related components and downloaded them from the m17n repository. This was a major bug, and the updated packages really do fix it. However, I wonder how many people even know about the fix, or have access to the updated SCIM. Is it going to be made available in the main repositories? (Or has it been by now?) What about users of other distributions? (The same problem exists in Debian-based distros, for example.) One problem I continue to have in KMail only, when using SCIM+Anthy. That is, after typing some Japanese, when I try to insert text in the middle of an existing sentence, most of the time nothing happens. The text simply does not appear. I have to do a line break to type it, then attach the latter part of the sentence to the new text. I wonder if this is really a KMail editor problem, or a SCIM problem, or an Anthy problem? (It doesn't happen in Kate, and I've never experienced it in non-KDE programs.) Thanks again for the fix to the SCIM vs. QT problem, Mike Fabian. It has really made KDE usable again. -- Wataru Tenga, Tokyo openSUSE 10.2, KDE 3.5.6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
