NAME

  dxjim - An input server for Japanese


DESCRIPTION

  In a Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are
  supported by independent processes called input servers.

  The Japanese input server (dxjim) is an X client process that can run on a
  standard X server, provided that the server system has the required
  Japanese fonts installed. This means that the Japanese 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 Japanese, the Japanese input server
  is started automatically, and both the language setting and the Japanese
  input method are available for applications that you start during that
  session.  If your session language is not set to Japanese, you can switch
  to Japanese from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG
  environment variable to a Japanese locale. From the same terminal emulation
  window, you must also use the command line to start the Japanese input
  method server and then other applications in which you want to use
  Japanese.

  You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the
  following command:

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxjim &

  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/dxjim &

  After the input server is started, any Motif applications that have been
  internationalized to support Japanese can communicate with the server to
  obtain input method services. Applications must be started after the server
  is started. However, if the application contains an XmText or XmTextField
  widget with the Reconnectable resource set to True, the application will be
  able to establish a connection with the input server when the application
  starts first or when the server stops and restarts.  See the XmText(3X) or
  XmTextField(3X) reference pages.


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 function for deleting the previous character in
  the input method preediting area. In this case, you must use the Delete key
  to delete the character.

  The default Shift/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 something other than Shift/Space.
