       dxhanziim - An input server for Simplified Chinese

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       In  a  Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input
       methods are  supported  by  independent  processes  called
       input servers.

       The  Simplified  Chinese  input server (dxhanziim) is an X
       client process that can run on a standard X  server,  provided
  that  the server system has the required Simplified
       Chinese fonts installed. This means that the input  server
       can  run  on  any  system  that  can access your X display
       device, including the device itself.

   Starting the Input Server    [Toc]    [Back]
       If your CDE session language is set to Simplified Chinese,
       the  Simplified  Chinese input server is started automatically,
 and both the language setting  and  the  Simplified
       Chinese  input  method are available for applications that
       you start during that session. If your session language is
       not  set  to Simplified Chinese, you can switch to Simplified
 Chinese from a terminal emulation window  by  setting
       the  LANG  environment  variable  to  a Simplified Chinese
       locale. From the same terminal emulation window, you  must
       also  use the command line to start the Simplified Chinese
       input server and then other applications in which you want
       to use Simplified Chinese.

       You  can  start the input server on your local workstation
       by using the following command:

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim &

       If you want to start the input server on a remote  system,
       log  on  the  remote  system, and enter the following commands.
 Substitute the name of your local system for  <display_name>
 in the first command.

       % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0 % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim
       &

       After the input server is started, any Motif  applications
       that  have  been  internationalized  to support Simplified
       Chinese can communicate with the server  to  obtain  input
       method  services.  Applications  must be started after the
       server is started. However, if the application contains an
       XmText   or  XmTextField  widget  with  the  Reconnectable
       resource set to True, the  application  will  be  able  to
       establish  a  connection  with  the input  server when the
       application starts first or  when  the  server  stops  and
       restarts.  See the XmText(3X) or XmTextField(3X) reference
       pages.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       This input server uses X11R6. It  can  connect  to  inputmethod
  clients  running  X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the
       same  locale.  However,  support  for  multiple   monitors
       (multi-head  systems)  is  available  only to clients also
       running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available
 to input-method clients using X11R5 or X11R4.

       If you are using a PC-style keyboard, the input server may
       not recognize the Backspace key as the way to  delete  the
       previous character in the input method preediting area. In
       this case, you must use the Delete key to delete the character.


       The  default  Ctrl/Space  key  sequence for activating and
       deactivating the input method may not work under  CDE.  In
       this  case,  invoke  the  dialog box for Input Method Customization
 and change the key  sequence  for  Start  Input
       Method  and  End  Input  Method  to  something  other than
       Ctrl/Space.
