Japanese Language? Two problems: 1. Japanese characters appear as little boxes instead of Kanji/Kana. 2. There is no option to select Japanese in the language options, just a bunch of flags with all kinds of English/European options. I have tried reinstalling. I have tried going through the Japanese language download on the Limewire page, which leads to a non-working Linux link. I have tried the beta and I have tried the 4.12 version. I even tried installing again in a Japanese language environment...no dice. All my other programs seem to display Java just fine. I'm using Fedora Core 5 and 4.12 or 4.13. Can anyone give useful advice on how to solve this or sleuth out what is going wrong? Things like "it's probably not a Limewire issue, try checking Java" aren't very helpful. If someone does indeed have Japanese display working, please tell me what system you're using and what input method. Thanks very much. I hope someone can help me. Why isn't it even offering me the option to choose Japanese as a _display_ language?!! Any clues? |
Have you tried exporting the locale like this: export LC_ALL=ja_JP and then starting limewire: /usr/bin/limewire |
Yeah...tried it...that was one of my first thoughts too... What's strange to me is that when I try to change the Limewire language options, it doesn't even _load_ anything that's not vanilla Western...no option to choose Chinese or Korean or Thai or anything. It's as if I downloaded the wrong version or it's picking up on a locale setting incorrectly and _only_ offering me certain languages. Sigh...it's a royal pain. Thanks for taking the time to make a suggestion. |

(BTW your problem of boxes showing reminds me of what happens with many windows users, because they don't have the appropriate language support.) Sorry if my post is not helpful, but just attempting to help in the process to find the issue/area at fault. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post272457 |
Japanese appears just fine in every other application... I'm using Fedora Core 5 and can read and write Japanese in my email client, my desktop, my word processor (Open Office, which I believe also uses Java), my web browser, my xterm window, and every other application. So the issue of fonts being installed isn't a problem. The issue of being able to input or read Japanese system-wide isn't a problem. The problem is exclusive to LimeWire, and seems to be something that's at the rpm or source level -- somehow it has not been compiled with proper Japanese support. Which makes me think that perhaps I need to try recompiling from source instead of using the rpm. Perhaps that will help. Either way, thank you for the suggestion. It may indeed be some option that I'm missing that for some reason is causing ONLY LimeWire to not work properly, but I've tried using an entirely Japanese desktop and LimeWire still came up the same way. I suspect there's another problem, perhaps one more unique to my system config or something. Clearly not too many people are having this issue or there'd be more out there on what's going wrong... :-) |
