I installed fcitx-pinyn, and its dependencies, and I now have ZH as a choice but have not been able to type pinyin and get a list of Chinese characters to choose among like I could on CentOS 6.

I do remember in an older version of FreeBSD, to get it to work in firefox, I would use LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox from a terminal, and it would then work. I never figured out why (it worked with other GTK apps such as l...

Which would also be useful, especially as fcitx-pinyan is already available. I prefer the manual way because I've gotten so used to it, but suspect the vast majority who want to use it as a desktop would much prefer the gui tool. -- Scott Robbins PGP key...

Apropos of the discussion this week with the person trying to get Chinese input going on CentOS, I filed a request for enhancement with Fedora's EPEL to add fcitx-anthy as a package. Currently, I'm able to get it working with the Fedora 20 rpm, but it would be nice to not have to search for it. It's been assigned (I'm not sure how meaningful that is, depending upon the assignee's free time), but anyone who would like to add their support to...
