Unfortunately it doesn't work. I did oaf-slay and killev. Still the same
problem. I think there are at least two problems: kinput (the Japanese
input method) doesn't work. And, independent from that, Japanese fonts
are not configured correctly. Where can I do that? In gnome control
center I don't find anything about fonts, nor in evolution. By the way I
also can't read Japanese mail, although choosing the correct coding.
That seems to be a font configuration problem. But it's not the problem
that I don't have the fonts available! In sylpheed, mozilla and a lot of
other applications display and input of Japanese text works fine.
