Support for SCIM on Linux

Hi

I'm trying to input Tibetan (i.e. Unicode) characters using the SCIM input
method (Wylie tibetan aka EWTS) on Ubuntu (10.4).
(N.B. That's not the same as a different keyboard layout!)

SCIM works ok for OpenOffice and even for gedit, but not in Pharo, ie it is
installed correctly and working.

I suspect it's because Pharo consumes the keyboard input directly, and
doesn't let SCIM do its stuff (essentially aggregating keystrokes before
sending the unicode on to application).

It would be nice to hear from a) anyone who's got this to work in Pharo, or
b) someone who can confirm what I suspect.

The equivalent works fine on Mac!

David

Hi Mario

Thanks for the answers, I'm sorry to take so long to answer, I'm only online
very occasionally at the moment.

1. there is no problem displaying the unicode characters, once the
appropriate fonts are loaded (I simple use the update font option from the
preferences and set the appropriate font in the text morphs). I haven't
checked with a 1.0 image, but I don't remember any problem displaying these
characters in 1.0, I didn't try entering them!

2. the problem is inputting using SCIM. Alternative keyboards e.g.
Bhutan/Dzongkha) work ok, but the input methods supported by SCIM are how
most of the world enters Tibetan characters.

3. How do I open a ticket? Where?

Greetings from Kalymnos

David
