NoOp, thanks for your suggestion. Alas, I found myself unable to get IBus to work ; for example, after installing IBus according to the instructions on the Ubuntu Community page and adding Chinese and Japan, I didn't find «IBus Preferences» under «System» → «Preferences», nor did «Ctrl + Space» start IBus in, e g, LibreOffice, despite my having selected «ibus» as my keyboard input method under «System» → «Administration» → «Language Support». So I'm still trying to get SCIM to work. The thing that surprised me with respect to Christian's advice above to set SCIM as my «global default» was that I thought I had already done so ; i e, I had edited my profile under /etc by adding the following : # SCIM export XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d" export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" scim -d I had also ensured that the following lines appeared in /etc/scim/global : /SupportedUnicodeLocales = sv_SE.utf8,en_US.UTF-8. Previously, these measures have sufficed to make SCIM work with OOo/LO.... What next ?...
