       dxjim - An input server for Japanese

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       The  Japanese  input server (dxjim) is an X client process
       that can run on a standard X  server,  provided  that  the
       server  system  has the required Japanese fonts installed.
       This means that the Japanese 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  Japanese,  the
       Japanese  input  server is started automatically, and both
       the language setting and the  Japanese  input  method  are
       available for applications that you start during that session.
  If your session language is not  set  to  Japanese,
       you  can switch to Japanese from a terminal emulation window
 by setting the LANG environment variable to a Japanese
       locale.  From the same terminal emulation window, you must
       also use the command line  to  start  the  Japanese  input
       method  server  and  then  other applications in which you
       want to use Japanese.

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

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxjim &

       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/dxjim &

       After the input server is started, any Motif  applications
       that  have  been internationalized to support Japanese 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 function for deleting
 the previous character in the input method  preediting
       area.  In this case, you must use the Delete key to delete
       the character.

       The default Shift/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
       Shift/Space.
