Puppy Can Input Chinese Character
when you start a program from the menu, it is using environmental variables from /etc/profile
for example, in profile, XTERM=linux
in .bashrc, XTERM=xterm
try putting any variables you use, like LANG=... LANGUAGE=... in /etc/profile (or you should be able to put them in /etc/profile.local ... do not forget to export them)
for example, in profile, XTERM=linux
in .bashrc, XTERM=xterm
try putting any variables you use, like LANG=... LANGUAGE=... in /etc/profile (or you should be able to put them in /etc/profile.local ... do not forget to export them)
i do not know if this is the answer to your problem, but some of the environmental variables are different when you run a program from the menu, compared to in a bash script
in particular, XTERM=linux ... which is limited to ascii characters
on my machine, /etc/profile sets:
XTERM=linux
in a bash script, these are set:
COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm
TERM=xterm
so you could try putting this in /etc/profile.local (create the file if it does not exist)
export COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm
export TERM=xterm
and also maybe something like this (use the correct locale parameters, of course)
export LANG=zh_CN
export LANGUAGE=$LANG
export LC_ALL=$LANG
i do not know if it will work or not

Fcitx
RE sccat's posting 3/9/05:
What is fcitx? I'd like to be able to enter Chinese characters as shown on your screenshot - I can do exactly that in WinXP: what must I do to do it in Puppy? (I'm learning Mandarin - simplified characters).
Thanks for any help.

To me, Puppy Linux is the most fascinating live CD. I intend to learn how to input Chinese using it. Your kind advice in sharing with me your experience will be greatly appreciated!
There is a saying in Chinese: 活到老, 学到老 (Keeping on learning regardless age.) Your motivation in learning Chinese prompts me to write this. If you like a penpal to write in Chinese, please contact me.
