Hi everybody! I installed FC3 (full install) and got the updates, but there is a problem which is still unresolved. In a Spanish environment (that is Spanish language and Spanish keyboard), when iiim service is active, OpenOffice.org doesn't print the ?ñ? character (the ?n? with the ?~? above, in case you can't see the character in this email), but instead prints the ?A? an the ?plus-minus? characters. The same occurs when you try to write some symbols, like the degree symbol. Accented characters, however, seen to works fine. But, and here is the main problem, when I turn the iiim service off, this characters prints correctly but the accented characters doesn't appears anymore! A similar problem was already in FC2, but in that version OpenOffice.org worked fine when I turned iiim off, and I know, from reading the Spanish discussion list of Ooo, that I'm not the only user with this problem. I've tried installing Ooo from the main OpenOffice.org site, and following the instructions from the iimf-FAQ, but nothing happened. Another problem: since my country (Argentina) had signed some commercial accords with China, learning Chinese is becoming a massive phenomena, just in the university where I works the number of students of Chinese is growing exponentially moth after moth. So this is a great opportunity for free software. What is needed is to use FC3 in Spanish environment, with OpenOffice.org in Spanish, and to be able to switch between Spanish and Chinese (both, traditional and simplified) for writing in Ooo (using pinyin). But I can't switch the input method in iiimf. In gnome, when I try to add languages to gimlet, the list is empty. In KDE, some applications like kedit appears to works fine (switching between Spanish and Chinese), but OpenOffice.org doesn't. The version that came with FC3 opens, you can switch from Spanish to iiimf, but when I try to select any language from the list in the little window that appears, the programs just hangs. In the OOo version from the official site, I can switch with CTRL + space, but I can't put it in pinyin. With the old xcin method, calling Ooo from a script, Ooo works (but that is too difficult for the ?average MS-Windows user?). However, in every case the problem of printing the special characters that I had mentioned before remains. Any idea? Thanks everybody (and please forget my basic English). Thanks. ___________________________________ ¡Llevate a Yahoo! en tu Unifón! Ahora podés usar Yahoo! Messenger en tu Unifón, en cualquier momento y lugar.
