This file contains information that applies to Japanese users only. Read this information in conjunction with the User Guides provided with the IBM(R) 64-bit SDK for Linux(TM) on AMD64/EM64T architecture, Java(TM) 2 Technology Edition, Version 1.4.2 and the associated Runtime Environment.
Halfwidth Katakana characters might not be displayed correctly. This is due to the lack of font data for those characters.
On Japanese versions of Linux, you can use a Japanese input method such as Canna or FreeWnn. Use the following sections to avoid problems when using these Japanese input methods.
If you use an IME on a TextArea or a TextField component, the committed text sometimes disappears when you commit the composed text. To avoid this problem, move the mouse pointer away from the composed text and away from the status information line when you commit the composed text. If you do encounter the problem, press the Enter key again; the committed text is displayed.
If you use an IME on a TextArea or a TextField component, the composed text is sometimes displayed in the wrong position. To avoid this problem, do not change the component position vertically after you commit a string. If you do encounter this problem, re-activate the IME; the composed text is displayed at the correct position. The committed text is always displayed at the correct position.
The Japanese Kana Kanji converter cannaserver on Linux (SLES8) for AMD Opteron processor might cause a segmentation violation when you are modifying the converted area of text in a TextArea or a JTextArea. If the segmentation violation happens, contact SuSE, http://www.suse.com/.
If you are using the Canna input method with the kinput2 input method server, some visual feedback from the input method is not visible while you are in KIGOU input mode. To avoid the problem, move the focus onto the client window after the Auxiliary Control Window opens.
If you switch to quoted insert mode by pressing Ctrl + Q, inputting control characters might cause unexpected behavior. To avoid this problem, disable quoted-insert-mode by adding the following line to $HOME/.canna:
(global-unbind-key-function 'quoted-insert)
If you are using FreeWnn, the numpad Enter key might not create a new line and a carriage return while the Input Method Editor (IME) is activated. To create a new line and carriage return, deactivate the IME.
The Japanese Kana Kanji converter FreeWnn on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 might cause a segmentation violation when you start it. If the segmentation violation occurs, contact RedHat: http://www.redhat.com.
If you are using kinput2 as the Input Method server, do not minimize or maximize the Java window in which the kinput2 lookup window is displayed.
If you are using kinput2 as the Input Method server, do not use Close button on window frame, otherwise, kinput2 might be killed by this operation.
If you are using kinput2 as the Input Method server on a passive component, kinput2 might have unexpected behavior. To avoid this problem, upgrade kinput2 to the latest version.
