If so, maybe setting the keymap to US keyboard may get around the issue. Hmm..m..the window, are you referring to the candidate window or status window? Ah...this is because the httx bridge is not started in FC2 when you are in Spanish locale. I will attach a copy of the Test Case guide which you can follow. It will be similar to setting up the environment in KDE. An older version can be found at the following URL. <http://www.apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide/> Let me know if this URL works for you, because I cant access it within the network. :) No problem. I can understand your English perfectly. :) Thanks, Lawrence

Hola Lawrence, hi Akira! First, thanks for your support. I received the “Input Method Testing Guide” from Lawrence. I wait until now to report my results to you because I wanted to start from a clean installation of my Fedora, so last weekend I reinstall it (as a “weekend Linux user”, I usually perform try-and-error tests for learning, so my stoic computer usually gets damage in its Linux installation...). Here are some things I could found (I just did the 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 tests for now), but before the report I have a question: The IIIMF can't works as xcin, in witch you could write several characters directly in pinyin, with the format pinyin+tone, and where xcin usually replaced the characters of common expressions with the rights ones when you did a mistake? Thanks you a lot! ----------------------------------------- 1.1 KDE Desktop: kedit Results OK when using English keyboard layout, Traditional Chinese session. ----------------------------------------- 1.1 KDE Desktop: kedit (in Spanish keyboard layout) Reporter: Alejandro Regodesebes Fedora Core 2 (full package installation, no updates performed) Desktop environment: KDE Observation: Test performed with Spanish keyboard, and Spanish keyboard map.
