CJK Chinese Japanese Korean Input Method configuration using SCIMin Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake - testing needed

[linuxa]

I appreciate the detailed and prompt reply Gabriel.



Admittedly, the way I've approached Chinese Input for K(U)nbunt 6.06
was the same as for 5.10, which involved picking the right fonts in
order to get the desired Chinese display going, which would give
preference to say the Firefly Chinese font over the default over that
Kubuntu came with in light of the fact the former was more crisp (could
be an anti-aliasing issue) for all I know.



Perhaps this wasn't the best approach.



I'll do a little more digging on the fontconfig-voodoo facility, and
will update the Wiki (if it hasn't already been done so by then) when I
find something concrete.



Regards
