FC9 SCIM ANTHY Problems

[robertgray86]

Greetings:

I've used Anthy for my Japanese Character input; but I'm having problems activating it on FC9.

When I activate the IM, I'm just getting gibberish on both Firefox (Minefield - pls see Google text input) and in OO.Writer. :confused:

Attached are my screenshots....Appreciate the help in advance.

Hello:
Since this is regarding a Beta Release, have you searched through bugzilla or have you reported your issue?

and or

Scim isn't finding the fonts.
Hold on, let me install it....

yum install scim-anthy. So far so good.
Because I have warning from your post, let me make sure I have fonts.
yum search fonts-ja

Ok, yum -y install fonts-japanese. (All these are bringing in various dependencies.

Ok, now I start X, booting into fluxbox.

XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 firefox

Hrrm, ok, firefox is broken. :) That is, it won't start on my machine, hopefully, this is a temporary set back and will be fixed soon.

However, running the same command with opera works. As it does with anything that can use scim-anthy.

So, I think my first guess is correct, get some fonts with yum install fonts-japanese. Then restart X. If that doesn't fix it, then try running it from command line as demonstrated above. I doubt it's a firefox issue, I think it was a font issue--that particular type of error is common when scim can't find the proper fonts.

A big oops on my part--everything with Fedora 9 should be in Fedora focus, not software. The mods will probably move this and lecture us.

Edit---wow, Seve, you're fast--I didn't even look to see if it was done, I just clicked back on the browser, added my oops and presto--it's already moved. You guys are GOOD!

Doh-mo Arigato, Mister Scrotto
同も有難う、ミスター・スクロット

With due respect to the '70's hit by the Pop/Rock Group Queen. I was in High School, living in Japan when the song became popular - given my name, heard the "term" used so many times in conversations...everybody thought they were comedians...but I digress.

The "install fonts" did the trick.

Seve: I'll give Redhat a courtesy note as well - fonts pkgs should have been included from the "gitgo".

Again thanks to the both of you.

I don't think you want to use kanji for the dou of doumo--I'd have to check with a native speaker, (or Wayne, who's close enough to one) but I don't think I've ever seen it written in kanji. (Also, I'm not positive that kanji would be correct, that's the dou of douryou, co-worker.)

****surei shimasu is a bit more appropriate from both of us to Seve, because we made him work.

Indeed "どうも" ( doumo ) is not written with a Chinese character. The word probably comes from "どう" (=how), which could possibly be "どのよう" for short, to which "も" is added as in other adverbs, e.g. 全くも.

Apologies for getting away from the original topic! :)

And it's not Queen. It's Styx.



















:p

[RupertPupkin]

Queen, Styx, Boston, Kansas...it's all the same.

[scottro]

Ah, one might journey (get it, journey?) to see them all--hrrm, there's room for a rolling stone and poison joke there too, but the heck with it.
Sigh, and Hobashira apologized for being off topic. :)

For shame :eek: :p.

[RupertPupkin]

For shame :eek: :p.
You're right. How could I have forgotten to include Asia, REO Speedwagon, and Air Supply? I apologize profusely!

I believe it's time for me to fly.

[RupertPupkin]

I believe it's time for me to fly.
No, no...that's R. Kelly, not one of the groups I listed.

[scottro]

REO, silly. To paraphrase the chorus
Time for me to flyyyyyyyyyyy, fly away from this thread
Time for me to fly, it does strange things to my heaaaaaaaaad
It's made me laugh/but now it's making me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly.

Apparently, we all have t-t-t-too much time on our hands :D.

[robertgray86]

...on you hands. :)

Granted, this is a discussion forum of sorts - it's healthy for us to engage in some (attempted) witty reparte. We need a chuckle now and them.

I stand corrected on the Styx/Queen and time-frame reference (listened more to the R&B/Soul Genre back then). Strangely enough, I do find most songs of the yesteryear a bit more nostalgic nowdays.

Therefore, in one aspect, they are indeed "all the same". :)

However off-topic this may be - for the record, you're off on the Japanese grammar/kanji comments - you're dealing with someone who not only lived in Japan during HS; but spent most of his first 28 years there.

Rock on, everyone...

Yeah, I draw the line at composing an entire verse of a song for making a grand announcement of leaving a thread. :)
