Just installed Fedora Core 2, is preparing to experience the system of smarting characteristics from Kernel-2.6, Gnome-2.6, etc., it is indeed a cold water, at least, two problems Chinese users are really a big problem.
1. The change of the input method interface of X WINDOW.
I used to use the XIM system. With the input method software such as FCITX, you can achieve excellent Chinese input support, but this architecture seems to say that it is very imperfect, so there is a direct integration of the input module into the GNOME system. The architecture, Fecora Core 2 is the case, but this problem is coming: Non-gtk procedures cannot get Chinese input, while the Chinese input method of GTK's program is only pinyin, it is really unhappy, or use back the previous architecture comparison Ok, it is also easy to change. As described below:
(1) Run with root stand: setup, select the system service, cancel the IIIM service, then run: /etc/init.d/iiim stop
(2) Reform the value of LNAGUAGE in the first line of / etc / sysconfig / i18n file to: zh_cn, the system default is: zh_cn.utf-8, this or more problems, such as in the start menu If you have a Chinese file in the project, if you have a Chinese file, you don't have UTF8 encoding, you have to watch a string of garbled because many Chinese characters are GB2312.
(3) Install your usual input method, such as FCITX. Restarting x window should be.
2. The second question is about OpenOffice.org, I heard that its icon is new, I opened it, I did so, but the menu was garbled, because its default settings put 'use desktop fonts Setting 'selected, so that if you choose to choose TAHOMA or other English fonts in GNOME, the Chinese in the menu in OpenOffice.org is garbled, the solution is as follows:
(1) Open OpenOffice.org, select the bottom one of the countdown third menu.
(2) At this time, the 'Setting' dialog box is popped up, of course, garbled. Select the last option for the first set of options for setting options, then cancel the second check box in the tab on the right, know what is the checkbox? * _ ^, Then determine, of course, 'determining the' button is also garbled, it is located in the leftmost button in the lowermost button.
OK, I don't know if there is anything else, in short, I can't install the Flash plugin when I use Mozilla-1.7. I don't use the system default mozilla-1.6, so I don't know if I have such a problem.
Anyway, it is the old user of Redhat, whether it is for love or habits', Fedora Core 2 is still very nice, it has new attempts and breakthroughs in many ways, these attempts and innovations Maybe not mature enough, but as long as you try, we have reason to expect it that it will always become more perfect, more satisfactory.
