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

["Thomas O'Dowd" <tom nooper com>]

Hi Larry

Could you suggest a font that works for Japanese? I tried everything on
my system at this stage as far as I can tell. I managed to get Japanese
to display using a font called efont but then normal ascii doesn't
display. I have lots of other Japanese fonts installed but nothing else
would display Japanese properly with 1.1.90 or earlier betas. This all
used to work with 1.0.8 with the normal Helvetica/Courier combination
specified in html viewer fonts.

As for kinput2 not working. It works for me but of course it gets
displayed as ____ when I convert something. Andrew, why are you killing
kinput2 all the time. I start it once as lots of my apps use it. You
might want to check that you have XMODIFIERS set. Something like...

LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP LC_MESSAGES=en_US XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
evolution.

Tom.
