Hello all, in June 203, Mike Fabian and Peter Evans had quite an enlieghtening mail-exchange on the adding of Japanese language capability to Linux. Here I follow the analytical steps and would be happy about comments. brulla@linux:~> locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= brulla@linux:~> echo $XMODIFIERS @im=kinput2 brulla@linux:~> pidof cannaserver 1984 brulla@linux:~> pidof kinput2 4817 rulla@linux:~> cannastat Error Disconnected What could be the problem?? Then, when I start rulla@linux:~> LC_CTYPE=ja_JP kmail and want to inpunt and converse to kanji, I get a Japanese error message that there cannot be a connection to the kanji server..... ?? Yours, Bernhard Rulla
