- KWrite, KSpread, KMail - much of Japanese entered vanishes (eg. ??? would result in ??.... the ? would always disappear... same with many Kanji).
This works. Just choose suitable fonts.
Question #1: how would I choose an appropriate font? In KWord I selected the Mincho fonts and got no text at all.
Question #2: the problem that I am experiencing is disappearing text. The codes are not being passed through to the application's input it seems.
Japanese input in KWrite doesn't work with OnTheSpot input-style. I.e. Japanese input in KWrite won't work when you do kwrite --inputstyle onthespot & but it will work when you do: kwrite --inputstyle overthespot & That is a known problem. But I wonder why KSpread and KMail appear on your list though. Certainly OnTheSpot input worked in KMail on SuSE Linux 8.0. I tested that many times on many different machines. On SuSE Linux 8.1: onthespot overthespot root konsole yes yes yes KMail yes yes yes KSpread yes yes yes Kwrite no yes yes KWord no yes yes I believe this situation is unchanged since SuSE Linux 8.0. Unfortunately the OntTheSpot input-style implementation in Qt3 is still problematic for Japanese. Even for the application where OnTheSpot sort of works, it is difficult to use some special features. You might want to use OverTheSpot instead. See also: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/kde-input-style.html for how to change the global default. Can you please verify whether it works for you if you switch to OverTheSpot style? -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
