| | 7.3 seems to support Chinese input out of the box, it's got
| | miniChinput and some other stuff no documentation. [ ... ]
| | Can anyone tell me what I should do?
|
| I've no idea, but a relevant/useful source of info could
| be the «linux-utf8» e-list:
|
| http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
| http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
|[ ... ]
| w.r.t. X11 applications [ one approach is to use ]
| what's called an XIM (X Input Method). [ ... ]
sorry for replying to my own post!
a google for "xim linux" found a number of hits.
try (I've haven't finished reading this myself,
but it seems good):
http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/
(CJK stands for Chinese Japanese Korean.)
the above is probably best read with a browser
that groks UTF-8.
cheers!
