| Follow the guide on https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-263174.html but skip the Japanese/Korean suggestions. If you've already done what's described there, you may need to compile gtk/gtk2 support into programs and then rerun scim. You can also setup scim using the "scim-setup" command and just modify the IMEngine to enable Chinese support. |

How do I recall the button thing on my taskbar? I had it not show on taskbar thinking I would bring up the option menu from aterm, but when I call it from aterm, it would not come up. It just hang in there.
| Code: | cyberian@cybergen ~ $ scim &
[1] 1585
cyberian@cybergen ~ $ Smart Common Input Method 1.2.1
Launching a SCIM process with x11...
Loading -c Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Loading x11 FrontEnd module ...
Starting SCIM ...
|
It just sits there until I hit Ctrl + C.

You need to run the scim daemon. Add these lines to your xprofile/xinitrc file (whichever you use):
| Code: | export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim |
Remember, this will only enable scim to come up and will not add the IMEngine support necessarily that you need to type in Chinese. For that follow the above guide but just don't emerge uim. |

Okay, I am now in this part:
| Code: | Now, Japanese has both kana kand kanji - you need a dictionary to give you possible kanji.
emerge '>=anthy-5900-r1' |
Since the manual is meant to set up Japanese. How do I substitute this part to search for a Chinese dictionary?

Uh, did you install regular scim or scim-chinese? I found scim-chinese by accident when searching for a good ebuild suggestion  . |

Since I was reading the manual: I emerged SCIM.
EDIT: I DL'ed scim-chinese. But cannot find the command to launch it via tab-completion. How do I get this thing to work?

Tab completion? Do you mean can't get it to launch using a set of hotkeys? That can be configured using scim-setup.
You probably need to compile gtk/gtk2 into your programss in order to get proper scim support. |

It worked, but the characters look funny. Thanks! Some characters are smaller than others.  How do I fix this?

emerge'd.
I cannot figure what these:
| Code: | bkai00mp.ttf encodings.dir fonts.dir gbsn00lp.ttf
bsmi00lp.ttf fonts.cache-1 fonts.scale gkai00mp.ttf |
On the font list.
None of the font names on the list matches the file names.

In sites that is suppose to be Chinese, say a Chinese media site. I could see the characters no problem. Everything is in proportion.
But in a site like Gentoo Forums, I cannot see the characters typed in this section!
Also, when I type, it looks like this:
http://tinypic.com/4g13lu
Noticed how the second character is smaller than the other 2? They are the same font, same size, typed it in in the same session.
When I change it to a Chinese-friendly font. The English font is messed up. Looks like a poorly inked typewriter font with broken letters.

| The second part is the way that English is done with Asian fonts (or at least with Japanese to my knowledge). It's known as full-width ASCII. I just get around the full-width chars by switching back to English input and type things in that way. There isn't any other way possible (without programming your own IME I would think) to circumvent the full-width character set... |
