Japanese input - the final frontier. This is the last obstacle before I can work completely within Centos and be free of Windows. But it's still not working. To cut to the chase, in my quest to get Japanese working, I came across the following: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-i18n-list/2004-November/msg00030.html ... where someone says: "You need to have httx (htt_xbe) running to use iiimf in KDE." Okay, so I go looking on the net for httx, but can't quite figure out what it is or how to download it. So my question is what is it, where do I get it, and will it help me get Japanese input? Now, for anyone who needs a reference, what follows is how I came to find out about httx. I was following the instructions on this page: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html And here are the results of some of the commands they suggest to check if iiimf is running in KDE: [root at localhost dave]# service iiim status htt (pid 3193) is running... [root at localhost dave]# rpm -qa |grep iiimf iiimf-csconv-12.1-13.EL iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-43 iiimf-libs-devel-12.1-13.EL iiimf-libs-12.1-13.EL iiimf-gtk-12.1-13.EL iiimf-client-lib-11.4-43 iiimf-x-12.1-13.EL iiimf-gnome-im-switcher-12.1-13.EL iiimf-le-unit-12.1-13.EL iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-43 iiimf-server-12.1-13.EL iiimf-le-canna-12.1-13.EL iiimf-docs-12.1-13.EL iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-43 [root at localhost dave]# ps auxwww | grep httx root 4433 0.0 0.2 5272 664 pts/4 S+ 18:38 0:00 grep httx [root at localhost dave]# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=htt kedit QInputContext: no input method context available QInputContext: no input method context available When I went to Google to look up this error, that's when I eventually came across httx, but that's where I was stonewalled. I hope someone can help me get this last piece of the puzzle in place. Dave
