No compose characters possible with asian language setting

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-LaTeX in OpenSuse 10.3
by Frank Schumacher 30 Oct '07

Dear list members, I'm having trouble getting cjk-latex to work in OpenSuse 10.3. I think that I have installed all relevant packages and fonts. Still, my text, which contains occasional Chinese characters in Big5-encoding, produces errors with LaTeX. Everything worked fine for years up to OpenSuse 10.2. but with 10.3. and the switch from teTeX to TeXlive something seems to have changed. I'm using \usepackage[encapsulated]{CJK} % meanwhile, also tried without encaps. \begin{CJK}{Bg5}{kai} % also tried akai, bkai, kair to no avail some messages: [...] (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/standard.bdg) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/Bg5/Bg5.enc) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/Bg5/Bg5.chr) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/CJK/Bg5/c00kai.fd)kpathsea: Running mktextfm b5ka1206 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation 5k for b5ka1206. /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running hbf2gf -g b5ka1206 600 hbf2gf (CJK ver. 4.7.0) Couldn't find `ntukai48.hbf' [...] The last message puzzled me because I thought I was using the Arphic-fonts and not the NTU ones. But I'm not so much into TeX font management so I don't really know what's going on here. Any ideas? Or pointers to useful documents?

I found that these old fonts: ttf-arphic-bkai00mp ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp ttf-arphic-gkai00mp are still in Factory-tree I propose we use CJKUNIfonts instead http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts And uming should define as the default font of Traditional Chinese just like ubuntu . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help(a)opensuse.org
