[tlug] CentOS and Japanese-Revisited-2nd Attempt

[Mark Sargent <powderkeg@example.com>]

Hi All,

1stly, I hope I'm not breaking a rule, by starting a fresh thread. If 
so, sorry, and won't do it again(I hope). I have just installed anthy, 
scim, and scim-anthy, this time, using --prefix=/usr/local, as to /usr 
only, with the 1st attempt, and have had some limited success. I can now 
get the pop up widget, but, I get no hiragana displayed when typing in 
romaji(my widget looks different than the one you displayed on your site 
for me, Scott). I am closer than what I was last time, but, seems 
something is still amiss. Below is what I have found,

[root@example.com ~]# locale -a | grep ja_JP
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.ujis
ja_JP.utf8

and what I installed in ~/.bash_profile

export XMODIFIERS='@example.com=SCIM'
export GT_IM_MODULE='scim'
export QT_IM_MODULE='scim'
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8
scim -d

which reflects the former.

Below are the apps I installed,

anthy-7227
scim-1.4.3
kochi-substitute-20030809
scim-anthy-0.8.0

I noticed, that when starting a gnome-terminal, I don't get the terminal 
displaying in the desired font. On the work machine(1st install 
attempt), I got the correct font, but, no widget pop up. I placed the 
fonts here,

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

as suggested.

I do get the following, though, when starting up gnome-terminal for the 
1st time,

Smart Common Input Method 1.4.3

Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
Loading simple Config module ...

I'm stepping out now, so, won't see any replies till this evening. Thanx 
in advance, though. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
