Hello, I've been lurking in the background here with the same problem as "morpheus" & following along as you folks suggest fixes. I too almost have Japanese input working -- am running KDE with the language set to English, but would like to have Japanese input for the occaisional email and web search... Anyway, I've come closest now with the version 11.4-60 packages. At least an input window appears in the KDE apps... But, when I installed those RPMS I also installed the Sazanami fonts... And now I don't seem to be able to see anything in Japanese. I think my truetype Japanese fonts may have become corrupted... They appear as blank squares in KDE apps and mozilla actually crashes if I attempt to go to a Japanese webpage now! Any hints on how to figure out what happened would be appreciated... If I pop up xfontsel I can see some of the Japanese x fonts, but don't really know how to evaluate what's going on with the truetype fonts... I have tried uninstalling the Sazanami fonts, and re-installing ttfonts-ja-1.2-34 without success. I've also tried reverting back to the 11.4-46.svn1587 IIim packages, and of course that didn't affect the problem... Thanks!
