The japanese tools are somewhat ackward to use and difficult to setup
|
|
for the time being. Here is some useful information.
|
|
|
|
* japanese and locale
|
|
OpenBSD does not have any true japanese locale support for the time being.
|
|
Startup errors for kterm (`can't set locale for ja...') are quite normal.
|
|
|
|
Manual pages for, e.g., jvim do install under /usr/local/man/ja_JP.EUC/,
|
|
as they are written in Japanese.
|
|
For the time being, you will have to fix your /etc/man.conf to see them,
|
|
so that the _default setup reads:
|
|
|
|
_default /usr/{share,X11R6,X386,X11,X11R4,contrib,gnu,local}/{man,man/old,man/ja_JP_EUC}/
|
|
|
|
* is kterm working ?
|
|
Once kterm is built, the distribution holds an uuencoded file (DEMO.kt.uu)
|
|
that you should be able to cat after uudecoding.
|
|
Note that the choice of fonts is reduced when you need to display japanese
|
|
or corean characters.
|
|
|
|
* jless vs. less
|
|
Normally, jless should be highly compatible with less, to the point where
|
|
it doesn't display japanese before you set JLESSCHARSET in your
|
|
environment. iso8 is the sanest setting.
|
|
|
|
* the jvim puzzle
|
|
jvim depends on several pieces to work correctly:
|
|
- kterm for the display, jvim uses ONLY EUC mode,
|
|
- Wnn for the dictionary conversion,
|
|
- onew for the interface between Wnn and jvim.
|
|
|
|
as japanese includes thousands of characters, the only reasonable method
|
|
for inputting these is to use a dictionary: you enter your text
|
|
phonetically, then the automated dictionary makes a guess at the conversion,
|
|
and you confirm the right choice. Wnn is the dictionary server.
|
|
It needs to be started as root (this will probably be fixed in the future),
|
|
it is called /usr/local/bin/Wnn4/jserver.
|
|
|
|
To handle conversions, jvim adds another set of modes to the usual vim
|
|
modes.
|
|
|
|
ctrl-space, ctrl-@, or ctrl-\ is used to toggle from normal insert mode to
|
|
japanese inserts. If Wnn does not work, you can still enter
|
|
katakana/hiragana, but you will need Wnn to convert them to kanji.
