NAME

       ucimf - unicode console input method framework

DESCRIPTION

       ucimf is an input method framework designed for Linux unicode console.

FEATURE

	o Support UTF-8
	o Support OpenVanilla Modules
	o Support PCF, TrueType Font
	o Provide OverSpot style compose window
	o Provide C/C++ API

BOOT PARAMETERS

       Framebuffer mode is needed.

       You can add "vga=XXX" to LILO, GRUB, or other bootloaders to let the kernel start with proper framebuffer mode automatically.
       vga=785	(640x480, 16 ), vga=788  (800x600, 16 ), vga=791  (1024x768, 16 ), vga=794  (1280x1024, 16 )

USAGE

       ucimf  needs  to run under an UTF-8 consle environment, please use locale -a to see the UTF-8 locales that your system is supported and use
       command like export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 to set up the locale.

       To start ucimf with FbTerm, prefer to install fbterm-ucimf package and run fbterm -i fbterm_ucimf, or see ucimf_start(1) as  an	not-recom-
       mended alternate.

       When  the  user is running an FbTerm, key combination Ctrl+Space is the switch of enable/disable the input method, Ctrl+ShiftLeft to switch
       to next input method, and Ctrl+ShiftRight to switch to next input method framework.
       For jfbterm, F12 is the switch of enable/disable the input method, F11 to switch to next input method, and F10 to next input method  frame-
       work.

       If  the	user  wishes  to  use  Ctrl+Space  and	Ctrl+ShiftLeft under jfbterm, please use ucimf_keyboard, which maps Ctrl+Space to F12, and
       Ctrl+ShiftLeft to F11.

TABLE MANAGEMENT

       ucimf use standard *.cin files directly to manage its input method tables, per-user input method tables is put in
       ~/.openvanilla/OVIMGeneric/.

       Installing or removing a table is simply copy or remove a file in that directory.

       The order of loading table is managed by the name of the table files, for exaple you can name your tables like this:
       01_xxx.cin, 02_xyz.cin, 03_aaa.cin, ...
       ucimf will follow this order while loading input method tables.

SHELL ENVIRONMENT

       LC_CTYPE - use UTF-8 as to recogize characters. For example:
       export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

       OVMODULE_DIR - to customize OpenVanilla modules location at run-time.  For example:
       export OVMODULE_DIR=/usr/lib/openvanilla/

SEE ALSO

       ucimf_start(1), ucimf_keyboard(1), ucimf.conf(5).

NAME

       dxhangulim - An input server for Korean

DESCRIPTION

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

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

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhangulim &

       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/dxhangulim &

       After  the  input  server  is  started,	any Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Korean can communicate with the
       server to obtain input method services. However, remember that these applications must be started after the server is started.

   PC-Style Keyboard Restrictions
       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 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 be something other than  Alt-
       Space. For example, you could change the sequence to be Ctrl-Space.
