Note that the source from Li18nux will try to use its own encoding conversion mechanisms on Linux, which is broken. You need to tell it to use iconv instead. Maybe I should attempt to package it for Debian again, now that woody is almost out of the way.

I don't think xkb is sufficient because (1) there's a large number of different Chinese input methods out there, and (2) most of the input methods require the user to choose from a list of candidates after preedit. I _do_ think xkb is sufficient for Japanese though, if you limit "Japanese" to only hiragana and katagana. ;) Regards Roger -- Roger So Debian Developer Sun Wah Linux Limited i18n/L10n Project Leader Tel: +852 2250 0230 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +852 2259 9112 http://www.sw-linux.com/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
