I found that the following patch makes XIM work even when AbiWord
is built with GNOME support:
This patch is originally from Petr Tesarik <tesarik@lupa.cz>
and was posted to the abiword-dev mailing list in May 2000:
http://www2.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/May/0254.html
I just had to tweek it a little bit to make it apply cleanly to the
current AbiWord sources, but the patch still works!
Unfortunaly, now that XIM finally works, I stumbled over the next
problem:
When trying to print Chinese or Japanese with an Abiword
compiled with GNOME support, I just get the error message:
The font metrics file [MOESung-Regular-B5-H] could
not be opened for parsing, nor was
it possible to retrieve the needed
information from the X server; this
is a fatal error and AbiWord will
terminate.
[ OK ]
MOESung-Regular-B5-H is a CID-keyed font which is supported
by the Ghostscript installation I am using.
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/zh-TW/fonts.dir contains:
With this setup, printing works just fine when when AbiWord is build
without GNOME support.
Any ideas what is going wrong with printing when AbiWord is built
with GNOME support?
