dxjim(1X) dxjim(1X) NAME dxjim - An input server for Japanese DESCRIPTION In the DECwindows Motif environment, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers. The Japanese input server (dxjim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system has the required Japanese fonts installed. This means that the Japanese input server can run on any system that can access your X display device, including the device itself. The Japanese input server on DIGITAL UNIX systems is interoperable with all existing DECwindows Motif/Kanji platforms, including VMS DECwindows Motif/Kanji and UWS/Kanji. In addition, the input server can provide input method services to the R6 X library (Xlib) on DIGITAL UNIX sys- tems. INVOKING THE INPUT SERVER Before you can input Japanese data, you must first start the Japanese input server on your workstation or on a system that can be accessed by your workstation through the network. You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command: % /usr/bin/X11/dxjim & 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/dxjim & After the input server is started, any DECwindows Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Japanese can communicate with the server to obtain input method services. Note that you cannot input Japanese characters in applications started before the input server. You can ensure that the input server starts automatically for your next session by making the following edits to your file: Add dxjim to the applications list for the DXsession.AutoStart entry. Make sure that dxjim appears before the names of any other automatically started ap- plications where you want to enter Japanese characters. Note If you later add or remove applications through the Session Man- ager's Automatic Startup dialog box, the DXsession.AutoStart en- try in the file is automatically edited to reflect your changes. However, the automatic editing also enters application names in alphabetical order. Alphabetic sorting may result in starting dxjim after the applications (for example, after DECterm) where you want to input Japanese characters at session startup. It is therefore recommended that you edit the DXsession.AutoStart en- try manually if you want to modify the autostart list and also preserve a particular startup order for applications. Add the following line to the file: DXsession.dxjim.command: /usr/bin/X11/dxjim If you also want the server to appear on the Session Manager's Application menu, add dxjim to the list of applications for the DXsession.AppMenu entry. 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.
