Originally posted by JDW install scim-pinyin and scim-tables and you should be able to use Cangjie, smart pinyin etc. in an English environment (I've found as long as you set your LC_CTYPE setting to zh_CN.UTF-8 or zh_TW.UTF-8
Hi JDW,
Now I have following SCIM packages running on FC2 box;
$ rpm -qa | grep scim
scim-tables-0.5.0-1fc3
scim-pinyin-0.5.0-1fc3
scim-1.1.2-1fc3
scim-tables-additional-0.5.0-1fc3
Performed tests as follows;
1)
# service IIim stop

both
$ oowriter
$ kedit
worked with 'smart pinyin' method available.
3)
$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM; export LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8; scim -d
also worked. However the Chinese characters input were simplified Chinese not traditional Chinese)
But I could not find 'Cangjie, Easy, etc.' input methods.

Have you made sure your font is a traditional Chinese one (e.g. one with a Big5 extension)? Once set up like this it doesn't matter really if you have zh_CN or zh_TW, you can input Trad or Simp Chinese just by changing the input from the SCIM bar, and by changing font. You can input Korean, Japanese, etc. in this way too...
to find other input methods, right-click on the SCIM bar where it says "Chinese", and select Traditional Chinese from the list of options - Cangjie etc. should be there...

I got it, using either
[Ctrl]+[Slash]
OR
left cliking the "chacater" on the SCIM bar to change [English],[Chinese],[Simplified],[Trad]
[Chinese] and [Simplified] are the same fonts

Sorry I tried many times. Righ clicking 'smart input' and selecting SCIM setup started SCIM config window. Under 'Input Engine' I could not find Cangjie input, only 'smart input' and 'code input' there. Right clicking on the characer "Chinese" (on the SCIM bar) had no function.
I wonder whether I left out some SCIM package/packages not yet installed.
Originally posted by JDW sorry, try left click on the scim bar where it says "Chinese" (or whatever other language is listed)
it shoulod give you a stack of languages/inputs to choose from...
Hi JDW,
On the SCIM bar in about the middle, there is a singe Chinese character there. Left-clicking it toggles amongst “English”, “Simplified”, “Traditional” and ”Chinese” input, all in a single Chinese character. “Chinese” and “Simplified” are the same, both inputing Simplified Chinese characters. On the left of he abovementioned “toggling Chinese characters” is “Smart Pinyin” input method. I could not discover Cangjie input method even on SCIM setup window neither on right/left clicking the “Smart Pinyin”. It is quite strange to me. That is why I doubt whether I left out some SCIM packages without installed.
Yesterday I posted "How to setup Cangjie input method, etc" on "Scim-user" mailing list but up to now no reply.
Launching a SCIM process with x11...

SCIM has been successfully launched.
However, the only options I have when I click on the SCIM button are English/keyboard or Raw Code. Can anyone figure out what I'm missing?
My old problem comes back again. I don't know what has been happend to my FC2 box.
Now I can't input Chinese on OOoWriter, only working on kedit and gedit. Other input methods disappear on SCIM setup window, only smart pinyin left there.
compared with the SCIM packages mentioned in my previous posting
scim-libs-1.0.1-5fc3 (disappeared)
scim-pinyin-0.5.0-1fc3
scim-1.1.3-1fc3 (now changed to scim-1.1.2-1fc3)
scim-tables-additional-0.5.0-1fc3
scim-tables-0.5.0-1fc3
scim-tables-zh-0.5.0-1fc3
I have not installed any new software recently only having run "yum update" several times
I'm not really sure what has happened there, but it may be an idea to uninstall (rpm -e packagename) all the scim files, reinstall them and go through the steps we have gone through above.
I think yum-update only updates the lists of packages available (new packages, updgrades, bug-fixes etc) without actually upgrading anything - but hey, i've never used yum, so I'm not to be trusted!
bilco, there have been a few postings on LQ about Open Office not working with SCIM on FC3, maybe search through some of them - our fellow posters have spent a bit of time on that issue...
