Re: [Evolution] reading / writing mail with Japanese fonts (iso-2022-jp)...

[Larry Ewing <lewing ximian com>]

The underscores mean the characters cannot be represented in the
encoding of the font you are using.  The way fonts are selected has
changed from 1.0.8

By kinput2 not working you mean nothing gets entered at all or
underscores get entered or what?  I don't know of any reason why it
would have stopped working.
