Hugs 1.4 will process Kanji (Japanese) characters on Japanese Windows 95
when input is read from a file, but not when it comes from stdin. I
believe this is because the terminal characteristics are set to read one
character at a time (using the VMIN setting), which prevents the IME
(input method editor) from being able to intercept them and present
possible Kanji for them. The IME generally needs 2+ characters before it
can do this.
I don't know enough about Japanese processing to know what to do about
this: we might be able to find out something from our Japanese
colleagues. However, if you have any experience in the matter, we'd
appreciate suggestions.
