No compose characters possible with asian language setting
by akimbo337＠gmx.de 16 Nov '09

Hello! I'm currently using SuSE 9.0 pro for both german and japanese input. This works fine so far, by setting the variables LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.UTF-8 and LANG to de_DE.UTF-8, but nevertheless I experienced a problem: With the LC_CTYPE set to japanese and an input method running (currently kinput2), I cannot type european language compose characters any more - at least the ones I used to produce with two sequent keystrokes ( ´ and e for é for example). The rest of my (german) keyboard layout works all fine, and with LC_CTYPE set to german, é's, à's, ô's, etc pose no problem, but then, of course, I cannot input japanese... This problem seems also to be existent for other language settings that use an input method, I tried it out with a friend who uses chinese input (also on SuSE 9.0 pro). We (my friend and I) are currently writing an article about asian language input with StarOffice/OOo, so we would really appreciate any help or hint concerning this problem. Thanks. Marcel Boeing

[opensuse-m17n] CJK font display more broken in 10.2
by PILCH Hartmut 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hi, Already in SuSE 10.1 only those han characters that are present in the Japanese charsets (JIS) were reliably rendered in x11 applications, even if all CJK languages (including traditional and simplified Chinese) were specified as languages in YaST. When typing the chinese greeting ni3 hao3 你好 nin2 hao3 您好 the first of either of the two was represented by a square. This is now still the case in SuSE 10.2. But things got worse. In SuSE 10.1 Emacs was an asylum where everything worked. With SuSE 10.2 Emacs is no longer any different, except in that it refuses to accept SCIM input, as I reporterd earlier. Sorry to dump these raw findings on the list. I haven't had time to investigate further. -- Hartmut Pilch http://a2e.de/phm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] scim inaccessible from emacs
by PILCH Hartmut 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Hi, After upgrading to opensuse 10.2, I can no longer input anything with SCIM in Emacs. The usual keys Ctl-Spc and Ctl-Alt-Spc are occupied by Emacs bindings ('set-mark-command', 'mark-sexp'). Previously these X11 system seemed to take precedence over the Emacs bindings, but this is now no longer the case. In other windows, such as 'konsole', scim works fine. The problem is the same in other window managers such as ratpoison. KDE has an additional intersting problem: Ctl-Alt-Spc invokes the KBeagle search tool, even from Emacs. This imho shows that X11 can take precedence over Emacs even in the new system, if configured that way. But how do I configure it ? -- Hartmut Pilch 裴寒牧ピルヒ・ハルトムート http://a2e.de/phm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-m17n] Chinese Font under KDE
by Florian Ehinger 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello, is it possible to define the font, which will be normally used for Chinese characters under KDE? I have installed several chinese fonts for traditional and simplified characters. The characters are already displayed under KDE, but the problem is, that they are very small and have always the same size. I think KDE uses some bitmap fonts which are only avaible in this small resolution and is not using truetype fonts which could be scaled. Bye Florian

[opensuse-m17n] utf-8 mail processing
by PILCH Hartmut 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

In order to convert all my mail to UTF-8, I have been using the 2UTF package. However I haven't succeded in compiling this package on 10.2 or 10.1, and I have just been lucky to be able to use an old binary so far. This is how compilation breaks on SuSE 10.2: cc -O2 -W -Wconversions -Wbad-function-cast '-DALIASES="/var/lib/2UTF.aliases"' '-DPATH2="/usr/local/share/i18n/charmaps/"' '-DCONFIG_PATHNAMES="/usr/local/etc/2UTF.config\0/usr/local/etc/2UTF.config\0/usr/etc/2UTF.config\0/etc/2UTF.config\0\0"' '-DVERSION="1.22"' -I/usr/local/include -c -o 2UTF.o 2UTF.c cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wconversions" The 2UTF itself is quite old and possibly stalled nowadays Summary: Translates char-sets and decodes MIME. Name: 2UTF Version: 1.22 Release: 0 Copyright: BSD style URL: http://unicode.richard.eu.org/me/rch/ll.html#2UTF BuildRoot: /tmp/2UTF-root Group: Utilities/Text Source: metalab.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/text/2UTF-1.22.tar.gz %description Filter for char-set translation to and from Unicode. Can use iconv, get char-set definitions from ftp.unicode.org tables or WG15 locales char-maps. Can decode nested multi-part MIME messages and invoke external filters. Can display char-maps and current console font. but I find it essential for mail processing nowadays. -- Hartmut Pilch 裴寒牧ピルヒ・ハルトムート http://a2e.de/phm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
