After spend a whole day on chinput,
I just realize you can use chinput to input UTF-8. No
change required. Damn! waste my time.
\Question{
How to input UTF-8 with Chinput and Xcin?
}
\contributor{ha [EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/09}
Just set your LC_CTYPE to UTF-8 and Chinput will handle
the rest. :) It let the X to do the conversion (hints:
COMPOUND_TEXT).
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8
or
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
Test with gedit, set gedit's font to:
-default-song-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-p-*-gb2312.1980-0,-*-ja-18-*-iso10646-1,-*-*
And now you can input your UTF-8.
XCIN too!
With the attached patch, xcin will do the same thing. Cool, huh?
