["Vamsi Krishna" <vamsigattu@example.com>]

For the OS  Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) 

Kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i686

 

Can anyone tell me which is the best way to enable japanese fonts both input and display.

 

I tried scim-anthy, anthy, scim, kinput, almost all the steps mentioned in the following link

Also any one has idea about the best ide for cobol on Linux, couldnt install TinyCobol, tried eclipse lemo plugin, any link online which can explain the cobol editor n tutorials

 

Thanks in advance
