Hi all,
This is my first post so I appologize up front if I fail to follow a rule (written or otherwise ;) ).
I have recently started using Japanese input in my programs under Fedora Core 3 with growing success. What I am looking for now, and I hope this isn't off topic for this list, is a tool like my roommate has on her WinXP machine where I can free-draw a kanji character and the program tries to match it and provide a list of options (and if I am really lucky has the pronunciation and meaning).
As an aside, I have also been trying to find a way to make Japanese the default input method in iiimf. Gimlet currently defaults to English but seeing as I can toggle between kana/kanji and romanji with <ctrl>+<space> I'd rather leave it as Japanese.
Thanks and I look forward to getting to know people here!
Madison
Please try the following from the shell. You must be root: # iiimf-le-tools --install /usr/lib/im/leif/CannaLE.so --lang ja --default
If that doesn't work, you may need to remove then reinstall the module, as follows: # iiimf-le-tools --remove /usr/lib/im/leif/CannaLE.so # iiimf-le-tools --install /usr/lib/im/leif/CannaLE.so --lang ja --default
Good Luck! -morpheus

Basically you don't need to do it unless you have another Japanese LE installed and you don't want to use another one. It's to change the default LE for that language or register the LE to choose the proper LE for that language. but it's not to change the LE on the incompatible locale.

Which tools? you mean something like toolbar and the properties dialog does?

I'm not sure if I see what you mean, if you can input any Japanese after you press ctrl+space, it's the right way to do. If you need to do change the language on gimlet for inputting Japanese and want it by default, you need to set LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n. Japanese will be default after restarting your desktop session then.

Such free software exists but it is not included in Fedora currently.
eg http://fishsoup.net/software/kanjipad/
would probably be nice to add to Extras.

I'm planning to improve this in a future version. In the meantime for the current session you can change the way new apps choose their language with the gnome-im-properties utility.

That software looks to be just what I was looking for, thank you! It seems like 'gnome-im-properties' on my system only gives me the enable/disable IM and where the menu is displayed. I tried removing english (Latin) from gimlet but it seems to just add it back once I switch to a new program.
Thank you for your help!

Has anyone been able to compile this under FC3? I keep getting compile errors.

I installed the 7.3 rpm on my FC3 machine and it worked great. What errors are you getting?

You're right, I misremembered: the configuration switch is in the applet config dialog. Planning to unify that and gnome-im-properties soon...
