OK, I have the 11-4-60 packages installed, am trying to do Japanese input in English KDE, Fedora core 2: > rpm -qa |fgrep iiim iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-csconv-11.4-60 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-x-11.4-60 iiimf-docs-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-gtk-11.4-60 iiimf-emacs-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-server-11.4-60 My .i18n contains the following: XIM=htt processes running: htt 2267 0.0 0.0 2472 324 ? S 23:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/htt htt 2268 0.0 0.5 26000 2992 ? S 23:25 0:00 htt_server -nodaemon dmason 3135 0.0 0.2 5816 1348 ? S 23:33 0:00 httx dmason 3137 0.0 0.7 21020 3984 ? S 23:33 0:00 htt_xbe Now if I hit ctrl-space in a KDE window, I get a small rectangle on its lower left with only a pair of square brackets... If I do so in kmail, which I'm using now... はい。これです。 I can type the above, but cannot see any text in the input window. Which makes selecting kanji sort of a guessing game... I can only see the Japanese text after I hit return. The windows appear to behave as they should, but I just don't see any text until I commit the character. If I do the same in Mozilla, I get the little rectangle with an [あ], and am able to enter Japanese as usual, able to select kanji, everything works fine. If I create a brand new new account, start it in Japanese mode, input works perfectly with KDE apps, and I can see the Japanese characters in the input window. If I log out, then log back in in English, no input window comes up. If I add the XIM=htt line in .i18n, log out, log back in then I get the same behavior as my accout -- the input window pops up but I can't see anything inside the brackets & no kanji. Everything seems to be mechanically working, but for some reason the character window only picks up the font if I am entering text in mozilla. I don't think this is a feature with my misadventure with the Sazanami fonts, since I had this same behavior before I tried upgrading. Anyway, let me know if there's more tests I can try or switches that may not have been switched, etc. Thanks! --D On Thursday 01 July 2004 22:18, D M wrote: > Hello, > > I've been lurking in the background here with the same problem as > "morpheus" & following along as you folks suggest fixes.
