This is exactly what IIIMF alrady enabled years ago. > X is miles behind in this, unfortunately. I do not think so. I would only pick up here what I know IIIMF working without any additon as an example, since I am not confident enough on the integration level of IIIMF into/on Linux distributions besides what I have integrated it by myself, If you find any recent Solaris around you, please give it a try on any UTF-8 locales. What you want is already out there by default. Since any UTF-8 locales on Solaris is configured to use IIIIMF instead of XIM, you will see the multilingual IM selection feature. If you use OpenOffice/StarOffice on the environments including Linux which alrady have IIIMF correctly installed, it automatically does what you want by loading IIIMF instead of XIM. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],OpenI18N.org,li18nux.org,unicode.org,sun.com} Chair, OpenI18N/Open Internationalization Initiative, http://www.OpenI18N.org Architect/Sr. Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems, Inc, USA eFAX: 509-693-8356 -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
