Howdy, I'm having problems getting Big5 to work with abiword. I have xcin up and running. I can enter pinyin in abiword, but the resulting character is wrong, i.e. the font is wrong -- How do I select a a Big5 font from within abiword?
I tried adding the two font.dir files below, but that did not help. Any clues? > > I did get cxterm working entering pinyin with tones -- totally cool!
