HOWTO japanese
Japanese input with canna and kinput2
=====================================
Canna - a conversion engine, like FreeWnn but it works
on my machine (which is alpha) It does not need
X server to run.
Kinput2 - a front-end. This will display a nice
input window. Yudit supports kinut2 protocol,
_JAPANESE_CONVERSION. This needs X server to run.
Installation
============

Update 2002-04-08
==================
I have added mappings between national standard JIS X 0213 on
a best effort basis.
For Yudit National standards are preferred to Unicode when
selecting a fonts - this is the only way to select a
particular glyph variant from unified CJK character. Font
support is the only reason why I still keep these maps -
text conversion is just a bonus.
X11 bitmap fonts with -jisx0213*-1 -jisx0213*-2 are automatically
recognized. They can be found at many places, for instance:
http://www.mars.sphere.ne.jp/imamura/jisx0213.html
For Shift_JISX0213 encoded True Type fonts please use shift-jis-3
converter, like this:
yudit.font.JIS2000=wlmaru2000p.ttf:shift-jis-3
lmaru2000p.ttf can be found in:
http://members11.tsukaeru.net/rare/font/
extendedWatanabeMincho3.ttf can be found in:
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~sd5a-ucd/freefonts/extended-watanabe-mincho/index.html.ja.sjis
New bonus text converters that can handle text with JISX0213
iso-2022-jp-3
euc-jp-3 - official name should be EUC-JISX0213
shift-jis-3 - official name should be Shift_JISX0213
