im-ja may have not turned up in google, but the archive of this list includesAs long as input method is concerned,
this thread is almost a replica of the thread last Dcember and all
these information was given then (except for KDE/Gnom2
Xkb kbd switcher and im-ja in which place a less advanced gtk2 input module
for Japanese was mentioned by Owen ). Is there anything wrong with collective memory of this list? ;-)
Well I for one have been placated for now by im-ja. Its precisely what ive been looking for, and extensive googling didnt root it out.
all the necessary information we went over again the last week
except for KDE/Gnome2 kbd switcher. Actually, I'm not sure
of my own memory and that may also have been mentioned in
the past.
XIM has been a disappointment for me, and I got tired of using iconv,
rom2hira scripts, a trivial console based canna interface, and
kanjipad for my input needs. (rh8 uses euc-jp for its Japanese
locale, and I refuse to use non-utf-8 locales, but XIM wont work
correctly or stably outside of the euc-jp locale...)
Well, you must not have been on this list long enough. Last Nov/December, I posted how to make RH8 support ja_JP.UTF-8 and ko_KR.UTF-8. Most of my changes have been fed back to XFree86 and are included in XF86 4.3. Hopefully, RedHat 9.0 turn on UTF-8 locale for CJK by default as I urged them to on several occasions. BTW, I've been using ko_KR.UTF-8 for about a year now.
Now if only more apps were gtk2 based...
Mozilla and gvim come to mind.
gtk2 patch for vim works very well. Just try 'vim gtk2 patch' and you'll get http://regexxer.sourceforge.net/vim. If you're adventurous, you can try building gtk2-port of Mozilla yourself. It's being worked on. I'm gonna give it a shot myself soonish. I'm also gonna explore if it's easier to wed 'pango' with Mozilla if gtk2 instead of gtk is used. That would dramatically improve complex script handling of Mozilla if possible.
