You might want to consider using emacs on console to do your work. Install emacs21 and mule-ucs. On Debian Sarge you will need to define some environment variable to actually activate mule-ucs (see /usr/share/doc/mule-ucs/README.Debian or Changelog) In emacs, enter M-x set-terminal-coding-system <Ret> utf-8 <Ret> to enable emacs to output japanese characters on your console. To input japanese, enter M-x set-input-method <Ret> japanese <Ret> To input french, you might try M-x set-input-method <Ret> french-prefix <Ret> If you need a console with japanese input, just run a console from within emacs: M-x shell <Ret> or probably better: M-x eshell <Ret> To enter M-x (Meta-x) from the console, you might have to press the sequence <Esc> x instead. If you need a more evolved input method than the emacs-internal "japanese", try to install anthy and anthy-el. Then configure anthy for japanese input. This should work much better. To view the documentation of emacs' internal japanese input method, enter M-x describe-input-method <Ret> japanese <Ret> regards, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
