XIM is not really suitable for Unicode input, as it is a locale- sensitive protocol that uses legacy encodings. It might be possible to coerce XIM to work for arbitrary Unicode text, but I'm not sure you'd want to do that. Sun have a new input method protocol which they claim to be more adapted to this sort of approach; I don't have the references handy, you may want to ask on i18n@. If you only occasionally need to input a character not on your keyboard, the UTF8_STRING protocol will allow you to cut and paste arbitrary Unicode characters. I've written a wee utility called UCM for my private use, you can get it on http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/ Juliusz _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
