I think the easiest way to type Chinese is to install ibus as a input method framework. 1) You need some east Asian fonts installed if you want to type Chinese apt-cache search fonts-wqy # WenQuanYi fonts(文泉驿字体) apt-cache search fonts-arphic # Kaiti & Songti fonts( 文鼎宋体,楷体) apt-cache search xfonts-intl-chinese # xfonts There are some other opensource CJK fonts not included in repository eg: Adobe Source Han Sans etc. 2) Install ibus-pinyin or ibus-libpinyin if you prefer using pinyin input method apt-get install ibus-pinyin # for ibus-pinyin, old but work well apt-get install ibus-libpinyin # for ibus-libpinyin , newer, see https://github.com/libpinyin/libpinyin 3) Install ibus-wubi if you know about wubi apt-get install ibus-table-wubi 4)I prefer ibus-rime, apt-get install ibus-rime 5) don't forget to install ibus-gtk (or ibus-qt4) and im-config apt-get install ibus-gtk im-config or apt-get install ibus-qt4 im-config 6) you need to enable ibus. Sorry, I don't know how to do under Cinnamon. For GNOME, you need run im-config to choose ibus as default input method, then run ibus-setup to add pinyin or wubi or rime. add input source for Chinese via Preferences -> Regional and Language Finally, logout and login again, you can activate ibus via super+space and change between English and Chinese via Shift key. Fcitx is anthoer popular input method framework. It's not recommend to use scim, thoungh it's still work. > Because, when I read all the web sites about this subject, I get lost. > It is exhaustive, but too difficult. > Please help me with specific and automatic what-to-do. > Peter Regards, Zhang Qide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
