I am a new Linux user, just having installed Suse 9.0 (I bought the personal edition).

The personal edition lacks practically all packages needed for Japanese. You can download them from the FTP version though. I suggest to install at least the following packages and try again: canna canna-libs cannadic mlterm ghostscript-cjk lv yast2-trans-ja kde3-i18n-ja kinput2 kochi-substitute xfntjp efont-unicode And it may be useful to have a look at the explanations on http://www.suse.de/~mfabian. -- Mike FABIAN http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Hmmm... Here are some things that have worked for me: * I use gdm instead of kdm as a login manager --- it each user select there login locale individually. * I do my full installation in Japanese.... So necessary packages like "canna" and all of the japanese stuff get pre-selected (I think under System/Internationalization or something like that are the Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) support stuff. Installing these separately might be just as good. * My locale settings are typically: export LANG=ja_JP export LC_ALL=ja_JP * If Japanese support is working and the locale is set right and canna is installed and working, then Shift-Space is used to toggle it on and off. I'm typing this on my mobile right now... If anybody could add anything, please do. On Sun, 11 Jan 2004 10:18pm, Paul Davidson wrote:

Hello,

I apologize for joining this list just to get help, but the Suse support database seems pretty worthless and my searches haven't turned up anything.

I am a new Linux user, just having installed Suse 9.0 (I bought the personal edition). Today, I decided to figure out how to input Japanese (I have studied Japanese for several years and plan to move to Japan). To my chagrin, I discovered that I cannot even view Japanese text (e.g. websites) in Suse, let alone input it. All I see are little boxes in place of Japanese characters.

I presume that the built-in Sans and Serif fonts are supposed to be full or nearly-full unicode fonts, but I can't see any CJK characters in the Unicode font utility. All I see are little boxes.

The Yast language setup tool does not display the Asian language names correctly. I just see little boxes. I tried switching to Japanese, but it didn't seem to make any difference - except in my Ximian Evolution menues, which now consist of (you guessed it) little boxes instead of English or Japanese text.

Any help is appreciated. I'm a little weary of Suse's support, which I paid for but has been non-existent so far. I'd just chuck the whole thing, if I hadn't already spent two weeks (and $80) configuring everything else the way I need it.
