dxhanziim - An input server for Simplified Chinese DESCRIPTION
In a Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers. The Simpli- fied Chinese input server (dxhanziim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system has the required Simplified Chinese fonts installed. This means that the 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 Simplified Chinese, the Simplified Chinese input server is started automatically, and both the lan- guage setting and the Simplified Chinese input method is available for applications that you start during that session. If your session language is not set to Simplified Chinese, you can switch to Simplified Chinese from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG envi- ronment variable to a Simplified Chinese locale. From the same terminal emulation window, you must also use the command line to start the Simplified Chinese input method server and then other applications in which you want to use Simplified Chinese. You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command: % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim & 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/dxhanziim & After the input server is started, any Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Simplified Chinese can communicate with the server to obtain input method services. However, remember that these applications must be started after the server is started. RESTRICTIONS
This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method clients running X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the same locale. However, support for multiple monitors (multi-head systems) is available only to clients also running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available to input-method clients using X11R5 or X11R4. 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. SEE ALSO

Chinese, chinese - Introduction to Chinese language support DESCRIPTION
There are two kinds of written Chinese characters, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. The former is widely used in Hong Kong (HK) and Taiwan, while the latter is more widely used in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Singapore. Codesets There are several coded character sets (codesets) available to support each of the two written Chinese languages. For each Chinese lan- guage, the following list notes the supported codesets and the strings that represent those codesets in the names of locales, converters, and other kinds of system files: Codesets for Traditional Chinese: For more information, see dechanyu(5). For more information, see eucTW(5). For more information, see big5(5). For more information, see sbig5(5). The Shift Big-5 codeset is supported for codeset conversion only; it is not used in locales or for both input and output operations. For more information, see telecode(5). The Telecode codeset is supported for codeset conversion only; it is not used in locales or for both input and output operations. The cp950 encoding format is identical to big5. For more information, see code_page(5). For more information, see Unicode(5). Codesets for Simplified Chinese: For more information, see dechanzi(5). For more information, see GBK(5). The cp936 encoding for- mat is identical to dechanzi except that the code page supports additional characters. For more information, see code_page(5). For more information, see Unicode(5). Locales The following list groups supported locales according to language, country or territory, and codeset. Each locale supports one collation sequence, which is specified following the locale name. For Traditional Chinese, Taiwan: Collation using internal code order Collation by radical Collation by stroke Chuyin (phonetic) collation Collation using internal code order Collation by radical Collation by stroke Chuyin (phonetic) collation Collation using internal code order Collation by radical Collation by stroke Chuyin (phonetic) collation Collation is the same as for zh_TW.dechanyu For Traditional Chinese, Hong Kong: Collation using internal code order Collation using internal code order Collation using internal code order Collation is the same as for zh_HK.dechanyu For Simplified Chinese, Hong Kong: Collation using internal code order For Simplified Chinese, PRC: Collation using internal code order Collation by radical Collation by stroke Pinyin (Phonetic) col- lation Collation using internal code order (however, all characters in the GB 2312 character set are ordered first, followed by the charac- ters in the GBK extension.) Collation is the same as for zh_CN.GBK The asort(1) reference page contains more information on the collation sequences used for Asian languages. You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to display the names of locales installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on setting locale from the operating system command line. For the Common Desktop environment (CDE), you also need to set your session language to an appropriate value by using the Language menu, which you access by clicking on the Options button of the Login window. Keyboards, Input Servers, and Input Methods The operating system supports the following Chinese keyboards: For Traditional Chinese: LK201-D LK401-D For Simplified Chinese: LK201-C LK401-C See the keyboard(5) reference page for information about loading keyboard mapping tables (keymaps) for keyboards. To support Chinese input in a Motif application environment such as CDE, the operating system provides the following input servers: For Traditional Chinese: See dxhanyuim(1X) for more information. For Simplified Chinese: See dxhanziim(1X) for more information. The appropriate input server is started automatically for a CDE session based on the locale setting chosen through the login window. See the appropriate input server reference page for information about starting an input server from the command line. The operating system supports the following Chinese input methods, listed by name under the written language with which the methods are used. Next to the name is the function key used to switch to that input method when the window for the input server is active. For Tradi- tional Chinese: (These input methods are enabled when the dxhanyuim server is running.) Internal code, F8 Phonetic, F10 Phrase, F9 Quick Tsang-Chi, F7 Symbol Tsang-Chi, F6 Note that there are no locales to support the Shift Big-5 and Telecode character sets, so these characters cannot be input directly. For Simplified Chinese: (These input methods are enabled when the dxhanziim server is running.) 5-stroke, F6 5-Shape, F10 Pin-Yin, or Phonetic, F8 Qu-Wei or Row-Column in GB2312-80, F7 Telex Code, F9 Phrase Input, F5 Intelligent ABC, F4 Of these input methods, the Intelligent ABC input method is the most recent implementation. It is also the input method used on PCs running Microsoft Windows. For the following terminals or keyboard settings, you can toggle between the English input mode and Chinese input mode by using a particu- lar key or key sequence: For either Traditional Chinese on a VT382-D terminal keyboard or Simplified Chinese on a VT382-C terminal key- board, press Compose. In CDE when LK201 is the keyboard setting, hold down the Compose key while pressing the Space bar (Compose+Space). In CDE when LK401 is the keyboard setting, use either Compose+Space or Shift+Space. In CDE for PC-style keyboard settings, use Shift+Space (for Hanzi) or Alt+Space (for Hanyu) The preceding key sequences are defaults. You can override them by setting other keys to perform the same function. Chinese Terminals The operating system supports the VT382-D and the VT382-C terminals for Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, respectively. Running X and Motif Applications X or Motif applications require non-ASCII fonts to display Chinese characters. Therefore, the font path must be set appropriately before starting an application that displays Chinese characters. An application can find Chinese fonts for codesets other than GBK in either of the following directories: /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/75dpi, for low resolution display /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/100dpi, for high resolution display Chinese fonts for the GBK codeset are installed in /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/SChineseTT. For applications running under CDE, you should not need to enter manual commands to ensure that the appropriate fonts are found as long as those fonts are installed on the system or available through a font server. For other applications, you can use the following command to check the font path: % xset q If one of the directories in the preceding list is not in the font path, the following example shows how to add the directory. You can sub- stitute 100dp for 75dpi if you want high resolution display. % xset +fp /usr/i18n/lib/X11/decwin/75dpi/ % xset fp rehash Printers The operating system supports the following Chinese printers, grouped by language. The associated print filter is noted in parentheses fol- lowing the printer name. For Traditional Chinese: The CP382-D is a Chinese dot matrix printer. The operating system also supports text printers that have built-in Traditional Chinese fonts and text printers to which Traditional Chinese fonts can be downloaded. For Simpli- fied Chinese: The LA88-C is a Chinese dot matrix printer. The LA380-CB is a Chinese graphic line printer. In addition, the pcfof and wwpsof generic print filters are available for use with many other printers to support Chinese printing. For more information on setting up and configuring printers, refer to i18n_printing(5) and lprsetup(8). SEE ALSO
