Hi,
Every now and then I have to write something in German or
Japanese. And normally this entails about one week of trials
to make Open Office work again with scim or uim (both input
methods). When finally everything works, it is normally too
late for my letter
This question is not Debian-specific.
I am working in X (not in text mode), and some text is displayed
in some application; e.g. in iceweasel, but it could be something
else. So a part of my screen is filled with some text, in some
font, or in various fonts.
Is there any way to find out which

I think I have succeeded in installing the fonts (see the
output of some commands below). But I am not able to get proper

MATHML in Mozilla products is still buggy in Debian (old bug, see

I am pleased to say that I now managed to get simultaneous sound
working in Debian, almost perfectly.
My sound compatibility matrix is now:
mp/s xmmsyoutube skype
mp/s OKOK OKOK
xmms OKXOKOK
youtubeOKOK
Trying to get multiple simultaneous sound streams working
on my Sid system, I got as far as the following:
mp/s mp/a xmmsyoutube skype
mp/s OK N/A XXXX
mp/a N/A X XXXX
xmms X X
The jp keyboard layout (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/jp) does not
seem to specify any 3rd (or 4th) level symbols. I do not know what
you want to do with your AltGr key, but if it is to get things
like AltGr-5 = Euro symbol, or AltGr-minus = dead macron key, you
could try
setxkbmap=us(alt-intl)+jp
Oops, sorry, this should be without =, e.g.
setxkbmap us(alt-intl)+jp
or perhaps in your case
setxkbmap us(alt-intl)+jp(OADG109A)

It seems that nowadays in Debian, you must set the locale by
running as root
update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
This stores the locale value in /etc/defaults/locale (instead of
/etc/environment).
