So far, I have Japanese input working in Evolution email and in mozilla. I cannot get it to work with any OpenOffice program, or with the Opera browser, or with Konsole. I can display Japanese in all of these programs. I can't find menus for "Input Method" on any of them. I am starting them at the command line as follows: #LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 oowriter Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also, when converting kana to kanji, I find it very difficult to see which segment of the sentence I am converting. Is there a way to set up different display colors? I've seen no documentation on configuration/customization of IIim. Help would be appreciated. -James
