Japanese Input

[palstyo]

Well first of I want to confirm your procedure.


1. Install Japanese ttf/ttc fonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype


2. Install Japanese locale


angstrom-locale-ja-feed-config


install locale-base-ja-jp


3. add following line into $home/.profile (.profile in your home directory) May not needed if you don't want to change menu language)


export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8


export LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8


4. install xim(gtk-immodule-xim)


5. Extract uim+anthy.tar.gz on /


6. Add following line into $home/.profile (.profile in your home directory)


Actually if your installation is correct you can see toolbar even type in terminal.


P.S.


This is also important.


most of operations are have to do as root.(sudo -s is much easier than wiki's instruction)

Ok! i have the toolbar now, but there is nothing happening when I click on the toolbar... even though the preferences show that anthy should be used... anything I am doing wrong ?

It is normal.


It will appear when you can type word in some apps.


For example run firefox and select some search box then see what happen.

I suspected that, and I tried gedit and leafpad but the button did not do anything in these applications. I will try firefox!

Well i think something wrong.


I'm okay to use anthy with leafpad to enter Japanese.


Did you install everything?


If you tell me what did you done include .profile then I'll check it for you just in case.


Also have you check input method in settings.


You can configure default settings. eg. define toggle key , set default ime etc.

 

[ekianjo]

Let me check again if I missed something during the install. I will check this evening


Thanks for your kind help !

 

[ekianjo]

Well first of I want to confirm your procedure.


1. Install Japanese ttf/ttc fonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype

Do I need to install japanese fonts if firefox can already view japanese pages? That should mean japanese fonts are already installed?


Plus, where do I get the right japanese fonts?

Yes you need to install if you want Japanese perfectly.


No there is no Japanese fonts pre-installed on Pandora it's a Chinese fonts(uming.ttc)


Chinese fonts can show Japanese but not 100% coz. different character sets.


You can copy from your PC(this is easiest way) but illlegal so better to use free fonts.


There is many truetype fonts are available for free.


Just for example


http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ipafonts/


Also need to change default font to IPA Fonts in Appearance after copy it.

Actually still not resolved...


I did :


1. Install Japanese ttf/ttc fonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype


2. Install Japanese locale


angstrom-locale-ja-feed-config


install locale-base-ja-jp


4. install xim(gtk-immodule-xim)


5. Extract uim+anthy.tar.gz on /


I skipped step 3 - is it really needed if I do not want my system to be in Japanese?


I can still see the input bar button but still nothing comes up when I click it while trying to type in a text field...
