Lisi, the «enabled for complex text layout» isn't needed for East Asian (so-called CJK) languages, but is for languages like Arabic and the Indic languages. I had hoped that enabling East Asian languages would do the trick - it works for me on Ubuntu Hardy - but that seems not to be the case for you. Not being a Kubuntu user, my repertoire of relevant ideas is, I fear, exhausted - but I do have one suggestion - you might want to consider mosying over to the Kubuntu fora (http://preview.tinyurl.com/ydfdzc) and posting your problem there. If they are like the Ubuntu fora, someone knowledgeable is almost certain to take the bait and help.... Henri
