CJK Support in Gentoo & TexLive...

[Antimatter]

I'm wondering if the documentation that I've typed up on my blog at these two link are accurate and correct way of setting up a CJK Enabled Gentoo, I borrowed heavily from some of the resources here on this very forum and have provided links and credits when due. Also I am wondering if my fonts installation process is correct with the cyberbit fonts for the CJK TexLive support, because I could never get any CJK symbol/characters to show up until I installed cyberbit fonts....

Anyway here's the links

A couple of notes:

You don't need uim or scim-bridge. I remember ditching scim-uim a while back for simply not working, and scim-bridge more recently for killing all text fields all too often. For things to work in all of GTK+/Qt3/Qt4, the only reliable configuration I've found was this:

1. unmask app-i18n/scim-anthy-1.3.1, anything older and input in Qt4 would not work
2. emerge scim-qtimm scim-skim-anthy
3. set these variables in .xinitrc (or .xprofile if you use a login manager), the others you listed don't seem to make a difference:
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
(no need to specify scim -d or skim -d anywhere IME)
4. if exists, remove your ~/.scim directory, create it again, and put these lines in ~/.scim/global:
/DefaultConfigModule = kconfig
/DefaultPanelProgram = /usr/bin/scim-panel-kde
5. log out of your current X session and back in.

At this point, everything is working for me in all of GTK+/Qt3/Qt4. The first time, if it isn't skim that is started but scim, you might need to kill all of scim (check with ps ax|grep scim), launch skim -d manually, and log out and in again. It should start with skim from then on.

If you need to configure anthy inside scim, though, you need the gtk applet, since skim crashes whenever you open the config dialog and click anthy.

Also, compiling skim is something of a pain right now. You probably need to suspend the compilation when it has unpacked skim with CTRL-Z, enter the dir where it was unpacked and issue

Better off here I think
