You can do some of that using qtconfig, but for the most part it depends on how your fonts are set up. More than likely you should use /etc/fonts. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] japanese input
Hi, I would like to input kanji cannas. I used to do it under mandrake without problems. But now with gentoo it won't work at all. I have canna freewnn servers running. my .i18n defines everything to be ja_JP, especially: XIM=kinput2 XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2 I've mapped the windows key to the Kanji key. I've tried to launch kinput2 with different args -canna -xim -kinput ... but nothing works! ctrl + kanji / shift + space don't do anything. I've absolutely no clue of why it won't work. The only error I see is this: (process:11009): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. but I don't know how to compile the japase locale in the C library. thanks in adavance. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The only error I see is this: (process:11009): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. You need to have kinput2 running before the application you want to use is run. Use the -wnn switch to use it with freewnn. You also need to have compile kinput2 with freewnn in your use flags unless you had freewnn installed previous to installing kinput2. Before running kinput2 you also need to set the locale. I've exported LC_LANG and LC_CTYPE as ja_JP but LC_CTYPE is the only necessary one. I've built glibc with nls use flag but I don't know if it is necessary. Hmm, it was in the default use flags at one stage but it has been removed. That's about all there is to it. My /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.1.4 looks like this: #!/bin/sh export LC_LANG=ja_JP export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -canna /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde That gives me Japanese in any program. The only thing I had to do in KDE was to change the qt engine to use over-the-spot instead of on-the-spot - and that was only to get a couple of applications that didn't like on-the-spot to work.
