[Fedora-i18n-list] Typing high ASCII
by Not Here
How do I enable typing high ASCII character by Alt - numpad in Linux?
I want to keep the US keyboard and en_CA language. This works fine in
every version of Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out how to
get Linux to do the same, I believe the Latin-1 charset would do it,
but how/where do I enable it?

[Fedora-i18n-list] iiimf/iimf-le-canna on FC3 not working
by Michael Krajnak
I recently installed iiimf on an FC3 system but can not get the
input method to work.
Normally I operate in the en_US locale and switch using gimlet
or launch an app with command line arguments (LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
etc.).
When the IM is enabled as characters are typed in they show up in
english only, although they are underlined. When the space bar is
pressed nothing happens... I still see english.
There are several copies of the following htt_server messages in
the system log:
Apr 15 23:24:25 localhost htt_server[3530]: status has not been
enabled yet. (1, 1)
Apr 15 23:24:52 localhost htt_server[3530]: Client shut down the
connection owned by im_id(1).
At some point during this operation a red border appears around the
gimilet applet in the gnome panel. I assume this indicates some sort
of error state, but can't find any more details.
I've double checked the entries in the faq, I have all the packages,
setup ~/.xinput.d, double checked the fonts, searched the archives
and net for similiar responses, etc. etc.
Any help would be appreciated, up to and including telling where
the sources are.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: [Fedora-i18n-list] Japanese key board difficulties
by John Francis Lee
Thank you Akira!
' It looks like your X server doesn't support the XKB
extention and GNOME just reported it. You could read/write
Japanese without changing the keyboard layout to Japanese
keyboard because you can input Japanese without Japanese
keyboard layout and the input method supports it. '
Could you please elaborate on how I might write
Japanese without changing the keyboard layout to Japanese
keyboard?
Thanks again for helping!

[Fedora-i18n-list] Japanese key board difficulties
by John Francis Lee
Hello,
I list below the error message I got from my LinuxTLE (Fedora Core 3)
system when I tried to add Japanese to the keyboard switcher after
choosing Japanese at log in :
' Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60801000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
'
I ran the two requested programs remotely from an ssh terminal. The guy
who wanted to use Japanese said he'd muddle through just reading
Japanese and is doing so on the machine right now.
[root@ws1 ~]# xprop -root | grep XKB
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
Atom id in failed request: 0x111
Serial number of failed request: 11
Current serial number in output stream: 11
[root@ws1 ~]# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [us]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = true
options = []
update_handlers = []
Is this the proper forum to ask for help on this?
Is there any help available here?
I hope so! Thanks in any event.

[Fedora-i18n-list] All KDE Apps Crash on Inserting Symbol in OpenOffice
by morpheus
When inserting Japanese into a document in any OpenOffice application, if you try to insert a "symbol" (i.e. press Home, then enter then enter again) every running KDE app immediately crashes. Yes, every K app on the system crashes at the same time.
Details:
openoffice 1.1.3
kernel 2.6.9-1.667
KDE 3.3.1-1
iiim 12.1.10
Canna 3.7p3-6
All installed from binary packages.

[Fedora-i18n-list] Fedora and Unicode 4.1
by Matt Thompson
OK, this is probably the wrong list for this, but it's the best match
for my inquiry I could find. Please direct me to the correct list, if
true and apologies.
My question has to do with Unicode 4.1 and Firefox. Namely, I recently
installed James Kass' latest Code2000 font on my Fedora Core 3 and
Windows XP box. This newest version has some of the 4.1 characters. An
example is Ethiopic Supplement:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ethiopic-supplement.html
The thing is, my Windows Firefox displays the characters in the font
just fine, while my Fedora box displays the Unicode [13XX] boxes.
So, this led me to believe it's a difference in Fedora/Windows rather
than a Firefox fault. May not be, but I have the same versions of font
and Firefox on each.
If it is a Fedora issue, is there a place to put a new Blocks.txt, or
something, that will enable these fonts? I tried looking in gucharmap,
but it doesn't even show this range (goes from 137F to 13A0).
Now, I'm not Ethiopian or anything, so it isn't a big need. I just like
to see the new characters when I get them.
Thank you for any and all help.
Respectfully yours,
Matt Thompson
