That's very strange! This is the Arphic font that I downloaded from your link provided. I don't think it is a font problem, also because I use the same font in kedit and quanta but they don't have the same behaviour. This is only seen in kwrite, kate, and konsole. > > Yes, that's terribly ugly. > > I believe this is a font problem. I guess you are not using > the > Arphic PL fonts for this.

EDICT

I looked arround and tried to find the edict.rpm file for installation but failed. For this reason, also the xjiten or gjiten installation failed to. I know where to find the original file. But it seems that this package has to be installed in a special directory. By the way: How can I get libs missing by some programs? I am running SUSE 7.3 Prof. but I am relatively new on Linux. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards Ulrich Groh

Hello, I'm Shoji Sugiyama, a technical leader of LTC internationalization team. I'm also working as subgroup leader of Li18nux utility development and certification test suite development. I'm just a curious about GB18030 support of SuSE Linux. Do you have any plan to apply the GB18030 certification (of China government) ? In addition, do you plan to apply Li18nux2000 certification ?

Anyone has experience in such combination: KDE2.2.1+SuSE7.2+xcin

* This is the first time I join a mailing list and if I do anything wrong here, please tell me * I bought SuSE 7.2 Pro several months ago and cannot get Traditional Chinese working in SuSE. This is my first Linux experience and now I have to keep Win98 (rather reluctantly) simply because I need to handle Chinese in my everyday work. I have read through Dr. Fabian's CJK notes for SuSE. It contains more SuSE CJK-specific information than anywhere else, but unfortunately I still cannot find what I need in it. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are too many variations of solutions to the same problem in newsgroups or other documents. So I am extremely confused especially I am quite new to Linux. Many suggestions are distribution-specific, so I cannot get much help there. I found the xcin-2.5 rpm (SuSE packaged) from somewhere (I couldn't remember where I got it) and installed it. Recently I want to test setting up the Chinese locale in a user account ($HOME/) and so I placed the following two lines in $HOME/.xinitrc: LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 LANG=zh_TW.Big5 (I don't actually want to set the kdm to use Chinese until I manage to get Chinese working on my system) and changed the country settings in KDE to tw; zh_TW.Big5; Big5 charset. What I get is all garbage (looks like a Chinese webpage displayed using Western codepage), but I can get Chinese to appear in GNOME, Netscape, Mozilla and many other programs that I suspect using gtk+. But I cannot see Chinese in qt-based programs. I have tried opening a terminal and check if the locale is correct. I typed "locale" in bash and it shows the values of those LC variables and all are already zh_TW.Big5. Then I tried to see if I can type any Chinese using xcin. I know it is an XIM server and the author of XIM said we need to configure the XIM clients to receive the input from xcin, but I simply don't know what to do. I tried the keystrokes "Ctrl-Space" but I cannot switch to Chinese input methods. All the default keystrokes simply don't work. May I ask if there are additional setup required? I have upgraded KDE to 2.2.1. The KDE i18n zh_TW package has also been installed. I have some Chinese fonts installed, so Mozilla and Netscape displays some Chinese webpages correctly. I have installed cxterm. It displays and I can enter Chinese properly in the terminal, so now at most I can see and type some Chinese in programs like vim and tin, but not konqueror, licq etc. May anyone offer me a helping hand? Thanks very much.

Re: [m17n] gjiten updated to version 0.9

Looks like you are not using the xjdic packages from SuSE Linux 7.3. I SuSE Linux <= 7.2, there were no xjdic packages and I packed the indices for gjiten into the gjiten package. For SuSE Linux 7.3, I added xjdic. xjdic uses *exactly* the same indices as gjiten and it would be wasteful to duplicate the information in both packages. In order to make gjiten and xjdic share the information, I did create three sub-packages for xjdic xjdic.rpm xjdic binaries and documentation xjdic-data.rpm xjdic data files which can be shared with gjiten xjdic-indices.rpm indices for the dictionaries from edict.rpm which can be shared with gjiten. and I made both xjdic and gjiten require xjdic-data and xjdic-indices so that both have access to the shared data. I.e. if you use the new gjiten package together with xjdic.rpm, xjdic-data.rpm, xjdic-indices.rpm, and edict.rpm from SuSE Linux 7.3, it should work 'out of the box'. For SuSE Linux > 7.3, I stopped packing pre-generated indices at all into xjdic-indices. The newest xjdic-indices packages now contains only a script "/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.xjdic". For each EDICT dictionary name in a list, SuSEconfig.xjdic will check if such a dictionary is installed in /usr/share/edict and if the respective index-file is missing or older than the dictionary file. If yes, it will generate a new index file. This has 2 advantages: - saves about 6 MB in the xjdic-indices.rpm (this is important, packages are always omitted from the SuSE CDs due to lack of space) - indices will be automatically regenerated if newer versions of the EDICT dictionaries are installed. I.e. after installing the new gjiten and xjdic packages, you should run SuSEconfig (as always after installing rpms on a SuSE system)[1]. The indices will then be generated. I have also uploaded updated xjdic packages using this SuSEconfig mechanism to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-2.3-31.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-data-2.3-31.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/xjdic-indices-2.3-31.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-2.3-18.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-data-2.3-18.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/xjdic-indices-2.3-18.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-src/xjdic-2.3-31.src.rpm Footnotes: [1] actually, it is enough to run 'SuSEconfig --module xjdic'. You can run all SuSEconfig modules like that 'SuSEconfig --module fonts', 'SuSEconfig --module sendmail' etc. Much faster than running the complete SuSEconfig if you know that you only need a certain part. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

gjiten updated to version 0.9
by Mike Fabian 03 Nov '01

03 Nov '01

Gjiten is a Gnome based Japanese dictionary program. It uses some of the xjdic code written by Jim Breen and his dictionary files. Gjiten also has a kanji dictionary. Any combination of stroke count, radicals and search key can be used for kanji lookups. It requires a working X Input Method [eg. kinput2] for japanese input. Announcement by the author, Botond Botyanszki <boti(a)beer.com>: - History saving (up to 50 entries) on exit. - Auto adjust search options if no match is found. - Now starts up properly with gnome/gtk specific cmd line options. - Updated for the IA64 architecture. - Shouldn't crash with Fvwm2 anymore. - dpkg-buildpackage should work under debian potato from now. - Dicfile limit raised to 40. - Added Back/Forward buttons to the toolbar. - Radkfile updated. - Fixed history behaviour (garbage, whitespace, case sensitivity) - Segfault on unconfigured exit fixed. - Numerous small bugfixes. Pakages for SuSE Linux 7.3-i386 and 7.3-ppc can be found here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-i386/gjiten-0.9-0.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-ppc/gjiten-0.9-0.ppc.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/7.3-src/gjiten-0.9-0.src.rpm or at the mirrors: Japan ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/Linux/packages/SuSE/people/mfabian/ Germany ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/people/mfabian/ -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
