6 <tmdoc-title|Notes for users of oriental languages>
8 In order to type oriental languages, you first have to start a conversion
9 server which can be used in combination with the X input method and set the
10 environment variables accordingly. For instance, in the case of Japanese,
11 one typically has to execute the folowing shell commands:
16 export LANG="ja_JP.eucJP"
18 export LC_ALL="ja_JP.eucJP"
20 export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
23 You also have to install Japanese fonts. For instance, you may download the
24 ipag fonts <verbatim|ipam.ttf>, <verbatim|ipag.ttf>, <verbatim|ipamp.ttf>,
25 <verbatim|ipagm.ttf> and <verbatim|ipagui.ttf> and copy them to
27 <verbatim| \ \ \ ~/.TeXmacs/fonts/truetype>
29 After doing this, you may launch <TeXmacs> using
32 texmacs --delete-font-cache
35 and select <menu|Japanese> from the <icon|tm_language.xpm> icon on the
36 first icon bar. If everything went allright, the menus should now show up
37 in Japanese and the current document is also in Japanese. Notice that you
38 may also select Japanese as your default language in
39 <menu|Edit|Preferences|Language|Japanese>. It is also possible to select
40 Japanese for a portion of text in a document using
41 <menu|Format|Language|Japanese>.
43 Inside a Japanese portion of text, and depending on your input method, you
44 usually have to type<nbsp><key|S-<key-space>> in order to start Kana to
45 Kanji conversion. A small window shows up where you can type phonetic
46 characters and use <key|<key-space>> in order to start conversion to Kanji
47 characters. When pressing <key|<key-return>>, the text is inserted into the
48 main <TeXmacs> window. Pressing <key|S-<key-space>> once again returns to
49 the classical <TeXmacs> input method.
