Re: [tlug] im-ja: A Japanese input module for GTK2

[David Oftedal <david@example.com>]

What would be REALLY cool, though, is if we finally got a tri-lingual
CJK input method that didn't need X at all, so that we could use CJK
with all the different encodings under the Frame buffer console as well
as under X.

Perhaps a modification to the VGA framebuffer module in the kernel
would prove to be the final solution to this problem.

Then we could truly get rid of kinput2, ami, xwhatsit, you know, the
Chinese one, and all those other annoying little applications, backend
servers, dictionary files, XIM... *Yawn* Zzzzzzzzzz.....

I guess it's about as likely as X being replaced by OpenGL, though. It
won't happen until someone does it.

But it's a nice idea, ね、ね?

Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are actually the same language. It's just
that the Norwegians can't spell it, and the Danes can't pronounce it.
