Seems to work with vietnamese and cyrillic.
There is a related project for yiddish and more, but I did not include that yet:
http://gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net/

This is simple to use:
install the Dotpup, run the new Dotpup-menuentry once, start Abiword.
With a rightclick -> input methods choose cyrillic or vietnamese (Telex).
Choose the font "DejaVu" for your text ( 2.6, from http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ).

Download (3 MB, 6 MB extracted):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/Gtk-2.0-unicode-with-Deja-vu-font.pup

It seems, you will not need to set up UTF-locale stuff, I can even use it with LANG=de_DE (no UTF).
If I am wrong, tell me, and I will help you.

The modules itself are very small, just the included ldconfig and the font make it so huge.

I took the Unicode-modules from Mandriva LE2005, the vietnamese module I compiled myself ( from http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtk-im-vi/ ).

They seem to use other keycombinations than "x-unikey" introduced by Hacao in the language-wiki.
I tried a selfcompiled unikey 1.04, and also http://xvnkb.sourceforge.net/, but had no success. Spent a whole night with that
For a short moment, unikey worked, but then never again.
I don't know what I messed up

Oh,now i can typing vietnamese (installed xvnkb)!
But some problem occurred:
-Af ter i install ldconfig-gtk2-unicode,abiword not run!
And
x-unikey typing in telex mode(from vietnamese puppy):
Tieengs Vieetj -> Tiếng Việt
but ldconfig-gtk2-unicode :
Tieesng Vieejt -> Tiếng Việt
and in hacao puppy:
when type [ it display ơ
when type ]it display ư(still true)
but it spend more time
When I run abiword from console:

[MU]

Hacao, I compiled x-unikey 1.04:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/unikey/x-unikey-1.0.4.tar.bz2

I ran it like this:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export GTK_IM_MODULE="xim"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=unikey"

unikey&
abiword

This only worked immedeatly after compiling unikey, after a reboot, it did not work again.
It still is partially working, when you type
"Tiee" in Abiword, it removes the "ee", but it does not insert the new vietnamse "e".

To get the en_US.UTF-8 , I copied the folder from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale from Mandriva-Linux to Puppy, also /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8 and /usr/lib/locale/en_US.UTF-8.

I also copied the vietnamese locale from Hacao-Linux 1.0.6.

I don't understand why it breaks your Abiword.
You can uninstall it in Pupget, to fix your Abiword.

I will do some more tests in the next days.

Hi !

I followed your way, but it error at ./configure here

[MU]

oh yes, you must replace ))) with ) ) )

There are 3 or 4 lines.

Wait, I upload the corrected source...
http://dotpups.de/tests/x-unikey-1.0.4.tgz

I compiled with
./configure --prefix=/usr

Can you give me your locale folder,MU?
I do not install Mandriva and other distro,i also install puppy
Thanks

http://dotpups.de/tests/x-unikey.pup

Notes:

This does not work correct, it is just for tests!

It has a script for tests, you can edit it so set variables:
/usr/local/x-unikey/test-x-unikey

It includes
/usr/lib/en_US.UTF-8
and
/usr/share/en_US.UTF-8

I also added a folder
/usr/local/x-unikey/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

You can copy those files manually to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

I don't know if this one is needed.
This will overwrite some of Puppys files, so I did not make it to install automatically.
You might use a new pup001 or backup first your whole
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

If it fails, you could try to compile unikey yourself again with the Source I posted for Hacao.

I did all you say
But I could not type vietnamese in Abiword(i installed from source of you and x-unikey.pup)
Thanks

I asked in Vietnamese Open Source Software Forum

[mydomain2]

Hi,

Could you share Viet typing that Hacao uses? Is it in PET?
