Hi all I don't need Japanese but I do correspond with people all over the world in the International Language Esperanto. I understand that you can type the Esperanto characters in Linux, does anyone know how ? The accented characters required in Esperanto are: c and C with a circumflex accent (^) g and G with a circumflex accent h and H with a circumflex accent j and J with a circumflex accent s and S with a circumflex accent u and U with a breve or hook These are available in the Latin 3 alphabet ISO 8859-3. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I started using Linux at the same time as I met my now Japanese wife and in that time I have waxed lyrical about how good it is and she has wanted to join in but I have never been able to get SuSE to allow her to type in Japanese to her friends and family back home. In all this time I have had to keep a doze box in my house in order for her to use IME which works perfectly. I have continued to try and search and have managed to get a beautifully displayed Japanese desktop over the years but as soon as she types it would be in English again. Earlier today I was reading through the comprehensive document from Mike Fabian which shows all manner of working examples of Japanese input on an English SuSE system. I tried all of the examples as best I could but still had nothing to show. Another search got me to Charles Muller's site based on Mandrake (http://www.acmuller.net/linux/japanese_ime.html. I post it here because another poster some time ago also has a Japanese wife and was asking the same question). In 3 easy steps I had complete Japanese typing functionality in Kmail, Mozilla, et al. The key here seems to be using localdrake which is obviously their own implementation. Question is, how can I (can I?) do this with SuSE as easily?
