Re: [tlug] Suse blues

I use SuSE 9.0 sucessfully with Japanese support my IBM Thinkpad 
X30. It is pretty simple to setup Japanese compared to former 
versions.

My environment is set to German, so I had to use Unifont in order to 
use German "Umlaute". Therefore I wrote into ~/.profile

export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8

There is a file calles ~/.xim-template  which I renamed into ~/.xim 
and modified the two lines at the end as follows:

export XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2"
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna &

Maybe you did not install all the necessary fonts. I just installed 
all Japanese / Asian fonts from the DVD. For printing japanese Text 
you also need Japanese fonts for ghostscript.

Maybe some of my hints are helpful. Please feel free to ask if there 
should be remaining questions.
