Hello... I am using Redhat 9. When I login using Chinese environment, I
can use xcin to input chinese, in terminal or licq. But if I login using
English Environment, after I pressed ctrl-space, the input bar simply
does not come out.

Is there any solution to it? I am using xcin version 2.5.3-pre2. The
environment variable is set as:

XMODIFIERS=@im=xcin
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5

Thanks.

I may be wrong about this, but I think that ctrl-space only works in a 2bit
environment, which requiers you to manually startup xcin in the english 1bit
environment.

Myself I have tested it only in a pure zh_TW environment, where it seems to
work, but I really would need to get it work with zh_HK.big5hkscs, but can't
find any fonts for zh_HK (only those iso fonts from gov.hk, but don't get that
to work with xcin).

"manually startup" means explicitly execute xcin by typing 'xcin' in the
command prompt? I have tried so... but the input bar does not come out,
only with the messages coming out:

XCIN (Chinese XIM server) version 2.5.3-pre2.
(module ver: 20010918, syscin ver: 20000210).
(use "-h" option for help)

xcin: locale "zh_TW.Big5" encoding "big5"
xcin: XIM server "xcin" transport "X/"
xcin: inp_styles: Root OverTheSpot

For me, in zh_TW environment, I used the font Big5. It works quite well
in my zh_TW environment. The xcin can work properly there.
