HP-UX 11.0 - 11i Internationalization Features White Paper

Asian System Environment (ASE)

ASE Changes [11i v1.6]

Chapter 4

• New size requirements for each language are introduced. Table 4-6 illustrates the size requirements.

• The TrueType fonts in the X Window environment are available only through the X font server, xfs. To

establish a host as a font server, start xfs as follows:

/usr/bin/X11/xfs -port 7000 -daemon

NOTE See the xfs (1) man page for more details.

• To ensure that the host is always configured to be the font server upon reboots, change the line in

/etc/rc.config.d/xfs to:

RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

• To configure a host to use a font server (that is to configure your system as a font client), run the xset

command as follows:

xset +fp tcp/<hostname>:7000

NOTE See xset (1) man page for more details.

ATOK X Japanese Input Method

This version of HP-UX includes ATOK X, one of the dominant input methods in the Japanese market.

ATOK X is used in conjunction with CDE and the X Window System.

The following items that are applicable to this new input method:

• ATOK X, the enhanced version of ATOK8, is new with this release. It includes the SuperATOK

Kana-to-Kanji conversion engine and provides more comfortable and effective Japanese input. It also

provides a migration capability of user-defined dictionary and key-mapping from the ATOK8, VJE-γ, and

EGBridge input methods.

Since the ATOK X has also been available in several Linux distributions as “ATOK X for Linux”, this

release provides a compatible Japanese input method with a familiar look-and-feel for Linux users.

• A change has been made on the dtimsstart menu, that has a new entry of “ATOK X”. Users can choose

and invoke it among other Japanese input methods on the menu, controlled by the CDE login session.
