Zaurus - pdaXrom / Scim-pinyin And Fonts

« on: December 29, 2005, 05:05:11 pm »

I have installed scim and scim-pinyin from the RC12 feed on my c760.

martint, can you tell me exactly what your config is so that you got scim working? I can't get it to enter anything.

Did you install any other package besides scim and scim-pinyin? Which variables do you export when running X?

Hi - just to confirm, these are the only two pkgs I installed - and ran the command suggested by ZDevil:
gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

As far as I recall, that's all I did...

Cheers,

Thanks for help - I installed the Firefly font (http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/fireflysung-1.3.0.tar.gz) and ran fc-cache -fv and AbiWord is  handling Chinese fine!

Thanks for this ZDevil.

To install the font I just copied it from another machine and dropped it in the dir mentioned below - then restarted X.

The font seems to be working - before I installed it even those characters within the SCIM interface were not displayed properly - now these are displayed fine - the problems when input selections are confirmed...but I will try another Chinese TT font as you suggest.

Does anyone know how I can make AbiWord see the Chinese font so I can select it? (at the moment only those installed by default are visible (Lucida Console, Times New Roman, Verdana)

Thanks again,
m

Hi,

I have installed scim and scim-pinyin from the RC12 feed on my c760.

I have also installed chinese font to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF.

When I enter Chinese using SCIM (either trad or simplified) characters appear correctly in the candidate selection area (and elsewhere in the SCIM interface), but when I confirm my selection (by pressing space) the characters entered in the application (e.g. SciTE or AbiWord) become unreadable.

Do I need to tell individual apps to use the Chinese font?  I can't see an obvious way to do this within SciTE; it should be simple in AbiWord, but my Chinese font is not listed under Format | Font - do I need to register it somehow?

Any help gratefully received - I know others have sorted what must be a trivial problem!

Thanks,
m

Zaurus - pdaXrom / What do you prefer...

« on: June 07, 2004, 09:05:14 am »

I use rox with mb-panel and am very happy.

I generally work from keyboard (apart from when browsing).  I like being able to see multiple windows.

I don\'t like the tab-based-PDA-style GUI (the categories seem pretty arbitrary to me and I never bothered to find out if/how to change them).

For me the mini-laptop feel of the X11 Rom is one of its biggest attractions (together with the nice SDK).

If the community is divided on this (as it seems to be), then I would go with Zazz\'s suggestion of offering optional WMs, with none as default.

BTW thanks for asking for views on this!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Key Mapping and Mouse Buttons

Sorry for obvious ineptitude in quoting in my last post.

It looks like xkeymouse mentioned above will read xkmc to do this - John says it ways simple to build - was this using the SDK? (I haven\'t got that far yet!)  

Yep - in case anyone is still as confused as I was, xkeymouse does does provide simple way to set up shortcut keys...didn\'t find it *that* straightforward to build with the SDK though - but thanks to Tutorial and Install Guide on pdaXrom site, I was able to edit the Makefile and get things to work...eventually.

Cheers,

Zaurus - pdaXrom / xterm settings ?

« on: April 28, 2004, 04:48:47 am »

Using this port of aterm, In midnight commander the up/down/left/right butons are mapped to ABC and D.

You can fix this easily from within MC - Options | learn keys.  Simply select the key you want to bind (using pointer), then press the desired key (twice).

Hope that helps,

I use a C760 with pdaXrom 1.05. 

Under the old (ROX-based) Cacko X11 ROM, I found it easy, not only to modify key mappings, but also to assign shortcut keys to launch apps.  I am really struggling to do the same with pdaXrom (using either Matchbox or xfce4).

I have looked through the archives on this forum, the FAQ on the pdaXrom site and also the Matchbox user manual to no avail.

My main issues are:

1) A combination of Cancel and Address buttons seem to be needed to get Alt functionality.  Address works with Tab to do \"Alt-Tab\" window cycling, while Cancel must be used (as a sequential prefix, rather than in combination) to work as Alt when navigating cmd line, or issuing commands in (micro)emacs and Midnight Commander.  I would love to fuse these functionalities in a single key again.

2) Equally, I would love to be able to set up a simple shortcut key (e.g. Mail) to launch an xterm (or any other app).  I think xkmc set this up on the old Roms.

I would be very grateful for any advice (or just a pointer if I have missed something obvious during my researches so far!).

Thanks in advance,
m

After posting this it occured that my problems always occured in console or apps that run in console.  Have installed aterm and this seems to read Alt as I want it to (seemed quicker than fiddling with Xterm setting)...I used the ipk which someone has kindly uploaded and linked from an earlier post on this archive (\"xterm settings ?\" 19.03.2004 - http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ewtopic&t=2659).
