That web page has becom inaccessible. I found another copy at http:// phpxref.org/docs/debian/ch09.en.html#anexampleforjapanese That copy gave me the remaining clue I needed -- that it works in the en_US.UTF-8 locale, but not the en_CA.UTF-8 locale, unless you add a line to the ~/.scim/global or /etc/scim/global file to tell it en_CA.UTF-8 is OK. That example-for-japanese section doesn't seem to be available from the more official-looking http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ Has it been removed? Section 9.7.9 of the http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ has a discussion of how to set up X for Japanese, which would seem to interact at a different level of the system, and seems rather more complicated than the one described in an-example-for-japanese. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
