Hi Daniel,
Tks for your advice.
Login Gnome (language tried : Trad/Simplified Chinese)
> Gedit > Right click > Input Method
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" already selected.
Input method already loaded. GIMLET applet not found
'Ctrl+Space bar' switching between Pinyin/Canjie and
English. Chinese input is possible
My problems were
1) If I can't find a Chinese character needed on the
first page I can't switch to another page
(additional/following page). This happens on all
programs, such as, Kedit, Kmail, Gedit, OOo Writer,
etc.
2) The contents in the Menu/tool-bar on OOo Writer
disappear, if login Trad/Simplified Chinese, leaving
only English characters there (short form
description). I don't need Chinese menu. English
menu can serve me.
I don't know how to fix them. I have another FC2 box
which does not have those problems. It is quite funny
to me.
I have posted those problems before without response.
Can you help.
TIA
B.R.
Stephen
