Re: [Evolution] japanese input

[Larry Ewing <lewing ximian com>]

Font configuration should be done in the HTML Viewer capplet in the
gnome control center[1].  The editor supports XIM[2] but I don't know
enough about XIM to tell you what to do to get it working.  I've not
been able to find much english documentation about setting up an XIM
testbed.

1.  To get fonts working properly for japanese it is possible that you
might need to edit ~/gnome/gtkhtml by hand and put a list of fonts that
make up a fontset there. Make sure you specify both fixed and variable
fonts.  Let me know if this is the case.

2.  There is a know bug regarding the preedit possition with a patch
waiting till 1.0.x to go in. See
