I'll write this in english so more people have access to it. I seem to remember reading a long time ago that pango would make Gnome UTF8 or Unicode-capable. I am looking for the possibility of using Japanese side-by-side with German or even French in Gnome, i.e. enabling display of Japanese chars like あ or 東京 together with European chars like ß ä or ü.
Right now I'm using this in my Sessions/Gnome file:

export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
export LANGUAGE=en_GB
export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
export LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucJP
kinput2 -canna &

How do you guys suggest I do to improve the display of German chars? Right now typing ä in Balsa returns nothing at all, and in emails I receive those chars are either garbled or just not displayed. But Japanese is perfectly fine, but for one thing, that date, time and system messages are in Japanese, whereas I'd rather have that in English, but it's a detail.
Any ideas?
Thanx

Micky
