dxhanyuim - An input server for Traditional Chinese
In a Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input
methods are supported by independent processes called
input servers.
The Traditional Chinese input server (dxhanyuim) is an X
client process that can run on a standard X server, provided
that the server system has the required Traditional
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 Traditional Chinese,
the Traditional Chinese input server is started
automatically, and both the language setting and the Traditional
Chinese input method are available for applications
that you start during that session. If your session
language is not set to Traditional Chinese, you can switch
to Traditional Chinese from a terminal emulation window by
setting the LANG environment variable to a Traditional
Chinese locale. From the same terminal emulation window,
you must also use the command line to start the Traditional
Chinese input method server and then other applications
in which you want to use Traditional Chinese.
You can start the input server on your local workstation
by using the following command:
% /usr/bin/X11/dxhanyuim &
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/dxhanyuim
&
After the input server is started, any Motif applications
that have been internationalized to support Traditional
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.
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 Shift/Alt/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/Alt/Space.
