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!

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.

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.

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.
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

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.
This mail was sent with TotalOffice--Secure, encrypted webmail with the look and feel of a
desktop client.

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...
