I m using fedora core 2 and have installed the kde-i18n-chinese packages. I could get most of the kde and gtk applications in chinese . The problem is that fonts are very light in color and they dont show bold anymore. Also they are very small .

The /etc/sysconfig/i18n file contents are

LANG="zh_CN.gb2312"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"

Also, i cannnot get SCIM to work properly over gtk and qt applications .
Is there anyother good chinese input software ( or any configuration to make SCIM work properly ? )

Thanks !!

for these kind of problems.
i suggest u go to http://www.linuxfans.org/nuke/module...d902f573b45269
and read their sticky post

for me, scim is the best input method among other input software.
try to update to lastest version. now version 1.0 is already release.
here --> http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/scim

and try to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n which contain the follow line
XIM=SCIM
XIM_PROGRAM=scim
XIM_ARGS=-d

Thanks !!
SCIM now starts up automatically after login in and it works for most kde and gnome applications .
However there is still problem with openffice. .. the cursor moves at odd places when u type in .. and the chinese text looks jumbled .

The terminal ( not in X) text does not come up in chinese ..... i get garbage text !!

Thanks in advance !!
