Akira-san, I ran your code that you sent me, and got these results: $ LANG=ja_JP ./li UTF-8 $ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 ./li UTF-8 When I run: user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx & User1 now has Japanese language in any K app. However, root does not have Japanese language support. Also, the shell itself (konsole) has no Japanese support. I'm gonna try putting the command in ~/.bashrc and reboot to see if gives me support in konsole. I've done a bit of experimenting and found the following: Only one instance of httx and htt_xbe can be running at a time. Example: user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx & user1 will have Japanese support in K apps. However, if root runs httx: user1$ su - Password: root$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx & Now NEITHER user1 nor root will have Japanese support in K apps. If a second user runs httx after another user has already run it, it will break input method editing for ALL users. You must kill all httx and httx_xbe then re-start but for ONLY ONE USER. Is this by design, a known bug or am I still doing something wrong? -James --
