Hi, everyone, I've compiled James Su's SCIM (Smart Common Input Method platform: http://www.turbolinux.com.cn/~suzhe/scim/) v. 0.5.1 and the accompanying scim-tables-0.2.2 with the intention of using SCIM for inputting Chinese under a UTF-8 locale on Linux.
Everything compiled nicely. I've added: scim -d export [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... to my ~/.xinitrc, and the gtk+-based gui "scim-setup" works perfectly. Despite all this, I haven't figured out how to get SCIM to actually work with an application! Typing the default "CTRL - SPACE" or a custom key trigger that I specified in scim-setup does not cause an scim input method toolbar to be displayed. I am using XFree86 v. 4.3.0: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.16 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 25 March 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present Can anyone suggest where I should begin investigating the problem? Is this likely due to an X configuration issue that I am unaware of? Excuse my ignorance of XIM: Is it the case that only some applications support XIM? If that is the case, how can one determine which X apps support it, and which don't? Ideally, I would envision using scim for input with KDE Konsole, the Unicode editor Yudit, and Open Office, for starters. I would be very grateful for any enlightening advice. Note that I chose to try SCIM as an IME since it seemed likely to support UTF-8. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
