I most definitely do not want to do things the hard way ! My problem is that instead of a gradual immersion into the sea of Ubuntu, I found myself cast in head first, sink or swim. Thus my command of the operative system leaves much to be desired, and my attempts to activate East Asian language programmes have not been crowned with success (I have, however, been able to convert my keyboard from Swedish to Norwegian and back again - something of which I fear I am inordinately proud)....
Your statement to the effect that OOo does not currently convert pinyin or romaji to graphs sounds ominous, but when you mention that there are IMEs (which presumably perform just these tasks), I scent a reprieve under the gallows. Does any list member know if there are IMEs that work with Ubuntu and OOo 2.0 that could be downloaded from the net ? Plucking the graphs one by one from the Table de caractères Unicode <http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/> is not an alternative.... Henri 2006/12/6, users@openoffice.org <users@openoffice.org>:

Currently, OOo does not convert pinyin or romaji to the appropriate glyphs. :( There are a couple of IMEs that work with OOo. Somewhere on OOoAuthors.org is a document ( for OOo 1.1.x) that discusses using OOo with various writing systems, and languages. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
