Hello all,

I have recently installed Fedora Core 4. The install went fine, and after following the directions at http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html#R2 (basically doing ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiimf ~/.xinput.d/en_US) Japanese input works fine. I do have a problem, however with Java programs. I remember Akira set me straight a long time ago about running Java programs and getting Japanese input. I wrote a script to call the program that I wanted that basically has these lines:

killall httx LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 httx & LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=htt" /opt/jdk1.5.0_04/jre/javaws/javaws ...

Now under a stock Fedora Core 4 install I don't have httx to run anymore:

rpm -q --whatprovides httx no package provides httx

I did a yum search for httx and found nothing, then killed my search for htt after it started to list every package with the match on the http:// line...

I thought that perhaps the library iiimf-x would provide htt, and it is installed, but I can't find the htt executable anywhere.

Do I not have some needed package installed? It could also be that Java 1.5.0_04 is working with IIIMF - I tried doing input and it looked like it worked, but I ended up with rectangular boxes. This is a problem with the fonts that I'll work on next. If that is the case, sorry for the wasted message!
