— If you use ‘KANA’ input (not ‘ROMAJI’ input) as the key input method at
‘YOMI’ input, and you input a ‘KANA’ character and ‘HANDAKUTEN’ or
‘DAKUTEN’ successively, the input method server does not compose ‘KANA’
with ‘DAKUTEN’ or ‘HANDAKUTEN’ as one character, but displays the
‘KANA’ character and ‘DAKUTEN’ or ‘HANDAKUTEN’ symbol. In this case,
you should make the composite character using ‘ZENKAKU-HIRAGANA’
conversion (press Shift +F5 key),or‘ZENKAKU-KATAKANA’ conversion (press
F6 key).
— If you install XJIM after NIS configuration, you will find that you can not use
XJIM Conversion Server. To resolve this problem, move the following line in
the /etc/services file
nuekks 6897/tcp # nuekks daemon
to the position above the line which begins with a “+” sign indicating the start
of NIS mapping.
❏ EGBridge
Closing the EGBridge main window during Kana-Kanji conversion on hpterm
may also close hpterm. You should finish conversion before closing the EGBridge
main window.
❏ IMS common (XJIM/ATOK8/EGBridge/VJE-gamma)
— Window focus sometimes cannot be moved by Meta(Alt)-Tab key if applications
use XIMStatusNothing and they overlap each other with KANJI-ON state. To
avoid this problem, set stackChange resource to False as follows:
XJIM XJim*stackChange: False
ATOK8 Atok8*stackChange: False
EGBridge EGIms*stackChange: False
VJE Vje*stackChange: False
See the “Resource” section in each Input Method manual for details.
— On Motif 1.2 and Motif 2.1 applications, the F10 and Shift-F10 keys cannot be
used as the Japanese input function key because those keys are used to switch
focus to the menu bar. To assign these keys to certain functions for IMS, set the
following:
— for DIN keyboard: $ xmodmap -e "keycode 25 = F10"
— for ITF keyboard: $ xmodmap -e "keycode 38 = F10"
— Japanese IMS is not available with X11R4 (including Motif 1.1) applications
using PS2-DIN-JIS keyboard if $LANG is “ja_JP.SJIS” or “ja_JP.eucJP”. To
avoid this problem, set $LANG “japanese” or “japanese.euc” when invoking
X11R4 (Motif 1.1) applications.
— Even if you merge UDC in X font after running the input method server, the
server cannot display UDC in the pre-edit and the candidate. You should
merge UDC in X font server before running the input method server. Re-login
makes sure that the input method server displays UDC on CDE.
❏ JIS keyboard
— Do not set the KBD_LANG shell variable or Motif 1.1 applications will not work
with a JIS keyboard.
