------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-25 05:09 ------- After I setup KDE to use Japanese & English KDE programs work fine but other programs like the Gimp only display squares not characters. I edited my local .i18n file & set LANGUAGE=C instead of =ja_JP.UTF-8:ja ( which is the default even though I didnt select use UTF8 duing the install ) which fixed the problem with non KDE programs but then Mozilla wouldnt display Japanese pages. I tried changing the default font in Mozilla only to find I had no font choices under Japanese. I checked to make sure the Japanese font package was installed & it was but after checking drakeFont I found no Japaese fonts listed. I went to the Advanced options in drakeFont & adding the Japanese fonts. Mozilla then worked ok. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: On a fresh cooker install, I created a new user, switched that user to use Japanese. Once logged in, I started kwrite and activated kinput2 with shift-space. After that, no characters appeared in the document I was editing. I closed kwrite, edited ~/.qt/qtrc and added XIMInputStyle=On The Spot in the [General] section I started kwrite again and I could use kinput2 as to do all the editing I wanted. In short: with some KDE applications on-the-spot does not work well or look all that great. With kwrite, it simply does not work at all! Since on-the-spot is the default state of a Japanese environment created by localedrake, this is a problem. My suggestion: I'm sure nobody on the Mandrake team wants to find this error in kwrite. Instead, I say that localedrake should change ~/.qt/qtrc in the manner prescribed above when Japanese is selected as the locale. That's a simple solution, it's relatively clean and all users of Japanese will love it because on-the-spot in KDE is just painfully ugly! [Just to name one: there is no indicator that the Input Method Editor is active.]
