[tlug] Re: typing in Japanese (Red Hat 7.2)

[Graeme Jensen <magic@example.com>]

HI THERE ALL 
Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have one user login name that 
is setup to use Japanese as the default login language but I can't seem to 
type Japanese.  This is despite having the right keyboard jp106 and the 
matching keyboard map setup.  I've checked out a few site about this but 
found too much detailed explanation that I couldn't really understand.  

I'd like to set up my box to have the Japanese User type Japanese by default 
and other users to be able to type Japanese when so needed.

Most kde desktop items do display Japanese quite well.  Some dialogue boxes 
display "mojibake", I believe it's called (question marks as opposed to 
kanji)  

I can also view Japanese web pages.  At boot time I can see the cannaserver 
and WNN startup, so the packages are installed.

I did install Linux once with Japanese as the default language and managed to 
print Japanese (on the screen) in the abiword document by using the shift 
space method but then got mojibake after choosing the kanji.  

I think perhaps I need to copy these files to some other places.  If so 
where?  What else could be wrong??  Sorry for the long winded explanation.

THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP
CHEERS,
GRAEME
