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.
