dxjim(1X)dxjim(1X)NAMEdxjim - An input server for Japanese
DESCRIPTION
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
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 ter‐
minal 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
This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method 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 recog‐
nize the Backspace key as the function for deleting the previous char‐
acter 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 dia‐
log box for Input Method Customization and change the key sequence for
Start Input Method and End Input Method to something other than
Shift/Space.
