Konqueror suddenly refuses to display Umlate
by Matthias Seeger 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Dear List, I have used SuSE 9.0 since October 2003 on my Thinkpad X30. The KDE Environment runs completely in UTF-8 so that I may use Japanese as well as German (Umlaute). My user account ist completely German. After the usual settings I can use Kinput2 with Canna in almost all applications (Konqueror, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firebird, KMail, GJiten etc.) I am now facing the problem, that Konqueror suddenly refuses to show Umlaute, no matter which page encoding is set. Even on the start page there are small dots instead of Umlaute. Needless to say, that I did not change any of the settings in the .profile and .xim files. Neither did I change the KDE font settings. The Japanese support still works fine. Such a sudden behaviour change happened already several times, both on my Thinkpad as well as on my desktop computer. Each time I was checking the user settings and the settings in the KDE Control Centre but could not find any difference. So far I could fix the problem only by creating a completely new user account. The only thing I could think of is the fact that I installed some DVD related software (Xine and friends) from Packman via YaST2. Also I did some manipulations in the /etc/fstab file. However, I cannot imagine, that this could influence the behaviour of Konqueror. Has anyone an idea, what could have went wrong? Many thanks in advance Matthias Seeger

Short_questions
by Gustaf Kugelberg J�nsson 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hi. First, thanks to Mike Fabian for all his help! This time, my questions are quite easy to resolve, I hope: 1. Is (x)emacs 22, with native utf, released? The reason I ask is that I have seen references to it on Japanese m17n lists. 2. In my emacs (not in xemacs though, although it has other problems) I can't save a utf-8 file with hanzi's, and then retrieve it, hanzi'z look something like this \230\123\162 instead. 3. A problem with big5 and latex: when latexing a big5-file, the character "open", [kai1] (akeru/hiraku in Japanese) doesn't work. It seems that it is taken as a two-latin-character combination, with } being the second, whihc tex doesn't like. Does anyone know why, and how to solve it? 4. How can I latex files in the utf-encoding (with both Japanese and Chinese)? It doesn't work right now, at least not the file UTF8-test.tex in the cjk examples catalogue. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Gustaf Kugelberg

kde 3.2 : no Japanese language pack
by Thomas Piekenbrock 13 Feb '04

13 Feb '04

Hello, I just installed the new kde 3.2 for SuSE 9.0 I made a new SuSE 9.0 installation using the 3.2 packages instead of 3.1.4. It worked fine (after getting some soundcard settings right on kmix), but there is no Japanese language pack in the SuSE folders, neither 9.0 nor 8.2 even though it seems to exist for other distros. When I installed the 3.1.4 version of kde3-i18n-Japanese instead, the existence is obviously recognized in the kde control centre / language selection, but no Japanese appears in the kde UI. Traditional and Simplified Chinese, both existing as 3.2 package, are working. Did anyone succeed on getting Japanese to work on kde3.2, SuSE 9.0? regards, Thomas Piekenbrock -- GMX ProMail (250 MB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS, Virenschutz, 2,99 EUR/Monat...) jetzt 3 Monate GRATIS + 3x DER SPIEGEL +++ http://www.gmx.net/derspiegel +++

Greek keyboard layout problem
by Filippos Papadopoulos 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Hi. I have noticed (and many other friends here from Greece have also noticed) that during the installation of SuSE 9.0 if i select the Greek keyboard layout, there is a problem with it. The keyboard acts like a German keyboard (e.g the 'Y' and 'Z' keys are swapped). Please verify this behaviour and if this is a bug please correct it. Thanks.
