Mutt is a program name? I've seen you mention it as a reason for losing things a couple of times. I only ask because I had a lead guide / scout in one of my earliest squad commands who called himself "mutt" but I didn't think you were the kind of person to channel the souls of people who died thirty plus years ago in Cambodia.


Do I politely mention the "A" word (archive) here?

So, we've gotten to the point where you get the input module but nothing
happens when you hit shift+space.

Yes and no ... my message was that we got there and having gotten there could not get back there the next time we tried. I'd installed a bunch of fonts from the DVD of installed .ttf and .ttc fonts off of my WIN installation into my System Fonts folder. What I did not mention before was that the font installer kept hanging so I manually installed the fonts using Konqueror.


I've seen this and it's often because either the terminal or environment
doesn't support the locale, or perhaps the fonts can't be found.

Except, the locale was set for ja_JP -- I changed that before I tried to start SCIM.


One thing that sometimes works is to put the XMODIFIERS and LC_CTYPE
variables in .bash_profile.  In your .bash_profile try adding

export XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM'
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8

Okay ... but shouldn't we be looking at why starting SCIM is not automatic and repeatable first? I am trying to figure out why I could follow your instructions successfully, install fonts, then find that SCIM will not install when called by scim -d any time after that.


This is for testing only, if we get somewhere with this, we can worry
about only calling it when needed. I've also forgotten which terminal
was being used.

I'm using a KDE desktop, too.  Debian 4.0.
