Hi, Every now and then I have to write something in German or Japanese. And normally this entails about one week of trials to make Open Office work again with "scim" or "uim" (both input methods). When finally everything works, it is normally too late for my letter but there is still time enough to give Open Office a chance to not work anymore when needed again.
I am using debian sid with a en_GB.UTF-8 local. When writing Japanese I normally use "uim" together with "Anthy". When writing German I use "uim" with "m17n-latn-pre" which allows to input German "Umlaute" with an english keyboard by entering something like "a, "o, "u, ... Currently none of them work in Open Office. (but - with lots of crashes though - sometimes do so in "evolution": 日本語、たとえば、und glücklicherweise auch Deutsch mit Üs, äs und Ös :) A while ago I managed to make Open Office work with scim using the following script: #!/bin/sh # setting Japanese utf8 locale locale=ja_JP.utf8 LANG=$locale; export LANG LANGUAGE=$locale; export LANGUAGE LC_CTYPE=$locale; export LC_CTYPE # using scim as input method [EMAIL PROTECTED]; export XMODIFIERS GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"; export GTK_IM_MODULE # start scim if not already running if [ -z "$(ps -A | grep -i scim)" ]; then scim -d ### &> /dev/null & fi # execute command given on environment $@ # fin. but even this fails now. Any idea how to make Open Office work with "uim" or "scim" again? Thanks, Dietrich, grateful for any help!
