Dear All,
Basically to read and write japanese. I would also appriciate if anyone could give me a good link for learning japanese so that it would be useful for my next project.
To be able to read and write japanese you need to install the following packages (this list comes from a RH9 install, but the list should be the same on FC2, exept for XFree86-devel-fig-devel as FC has xfree-org ).
Canna-* kinput2-canna-wnn6 nvi-m17n-canna pango-devel glib2-devel atk-devel XFree86-devel-fig-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel Wnn6-SDK-* sylpheed
If you install via yum or apt, you might be lucky getting around the dependencies. With these packages installed you should be able to read/ and write in (allmost) any GTK-based application. My favorite mail client for reading/writing japanese mails is sylpheed. I have a lil script to start it...
apprich@kidd apprich $ cat bin/sylpheed #!/bin/sh export LC_ALL=ja_JP export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' kinput2 -canna & /usr/bin/sylpheed
In sylpheed I just need to press shift+spacebar and I'm able to write in japanese. If you don't want sylpheed to be fully in japanese remove the export LC and export LANG.
Sorry, don't really know somthing to learn japanese.
Regards, Rajiv
