dxhanziim(1X) dxhanziim(1X) NAME dxhanziim - An input server for Simplified Chinese DESCRIPTION In the DECwindows Motif environment, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers. The Simplified Chinese input server (dxhanziim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system has the required Simplified Chinese fonts installed. This means that the input server can run on any system that can access your X display device, including the device itself. The Simplified Chinese input server on DIGITAL UNIX systems is interop- erable with all existing DECwindows Motif/Hanzi platforms, including VMS DECwindows Motif/Hanzi and UWS/Hanzi. In addition, the input server can provide input method services to the R6 X library (Xlib) on DIGITAL UNIX systems. INVOKING THE INPUT SERVER Before you can input Simplified Chinese data, you must first start the Simplified Chinese input server on your workstation or a system that can be accessed by your workstation through the network. Your language setting should be Chinese (Hanzi) before you start the server through the Session Manager Option menu and before you start applications where you will input Simplified Chinese. The following sections discuss different ways to start the input server. Starting the Input Server from the Session Manager You can start the Simplified Chinese input server after logging in to a session by choosing Hanzi IM from the Session Manager's Application menu. Note Your session language should be Simplified Chinese before starting the server. If Hanzi IM does not appear in the Session Manager's Applica- tion menu, change the Language setting in the Option menu of Session Manager to one of the Chinese options for Hanzi. Then, save the set- ting, quit the session, and log in again. For more information on set- ting language, see Chinese(5). Controlling Automatic Startup of the Server If, when you start your session, the Language option is already set to one of the choices for Simplified Chinese, the menu item Hanzi IM is added to the Session Manager's Automatic Startup list. In this case, the input server starts automatically when you start the session. If you do not want the input server to start automatically for each ses- sion, you can use the Session Manager's Option menu to remove Hanzi IM from the Automatic Startup list. Be sure to save this change before you quit your session. Note Applications that are started before the input server cannot connect to it. Therefore, if the Automatic Startup list contains Hanzi IM, it should be the first application on the list. Using a Command to Start the Input Server You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command: % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim & If you want to start the input server on a remote system, log on the remote system, and enter the following commands. Substitute the name of your local system for <display_name> in the first command. % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0 % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanziim & After the input server is started, any DECwindows Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Simplified Chinese can com- municate with the server to obtain input method services. Remember that these applications must be started after the server. RESTRICTIONS This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method clients running X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the same locale. However, support for multiple monitors (multi-head systems) is available only to clients also running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available to input-method clients using X11R5 or X11R4.
