I managed to reliably reproduce the bug with the romaji (see below). Start a program from command line, such as: $ LOCALE=ja_JP quanta Inside quanta, the Japanese conversion works fine UNTIL you display a dialog box (for example, do a search and replace, etc.). After that, instead of getting hiragana, you get romaji and no kanji conversion. I'd like to install the latest stable release and try again. What is the latest stable release and can you give me the URL to download it? -jr FYI - My environment: iiimf-client-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-csconv-11.4-60 iiimf-docs-11.4-60 iiimf-emacs-11.4-60 iiimf-gtk-11.4-60 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-60 iiimf-le-hangul-11.4-60 iiimf-le-inpinyin-0.3-2 iiimf-le-newpy-11.4-60 iiimf-le-unit-11.4-60 iiimf-le-xcin-0.1.5-1 iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-server-11.4-60 iiimf-x-11.4-60 kernel 2.6.6-1.435 KDE 3.2.2-8.FC2 On Thu, 2004-09-09 at 02:19, Akira TAGOH wrote: > morpheus> Finally, I still occasionally have a problem when I am editing a > morpheus> document and switching back and forth from IIIM to English input, > morpheus> eventually in IIIM it will not convert to Japanese anymore.
