[K12OSN] Chinese input using minichinput

Tue Nov 23 03:52:32 UTC 2004

A language teacher in my school asked me to see if I could get a chinese 
input server up. So I installed minichinput and the chinese ttfonts that 
come with RH9. Here is my problem.  If I login to gnome with language 
set to simplified chinese, minichinput works with the CTRL-SPACE (the 
little input box comes up) but when I use IceWM (which I prefer) the 
input server is not started. Even, if I start it manually ($chinput) in 
IceWM it still is not invoked by the CTRL-SPACE.

One other note: even when I use gnome I can't get OOo to work with it 
(the input box works but no fonts appear in OOo) although gedit works 
fine. And yes I have tried fiddling with the Asian support in OOo. 
Anyone run into this before??
