Ubuntu :: Japanese Anthy Incorrect Kanji
Mar 11, 2010
I don't know if this is an Ubuntu issue or what, but I've seen other Anthy threads on this forum so I figured I'd just post my issue here and see if anyone has the same problem. When using Japanese Anthy in Ubuntu 9.10 I sometimes get incorrect kanji. For example the first kanji (choku) in 直接 will only come up as the Chinese version of the kanji. On websites this kanji is displayed correctly but I just can't type it correctly. Very frustrating.

Is there some way to enable drawing a Japanese character with the mouse ?
something like IME pad for windows would be perfect. I looked at Anthy and the romanji to kanji works fairly well but it is lacking a direct mouse input method.
Anybody know if this is possible to setup on 9.10 Ubuntu ? I tried upgrading and that resulted in a big mess.

Using Anthy with IBus I'm having troubles typing the correct characters. I have stickers set on my keys that correspond with the correct keys for Windows/Google IME. Unfortunately Anthy and IBus have my keys mapped differently than this for some reason. If I have "Use System Keyboard Layout" checked in IBus settings the character ろ isn't mapped at all and if I uncheck it, a very large number of characters are mapped to completely different keys. When I look at the keyboard layout for Japanese Kana I've also noticed that ろ is unmapped. If it's not clear, I typically type using 1 keystroke being equal to a single character rather than typing in Romaji.

For years I have been using scim-anthy for Japanese input under Linux. However just moving to ubuntu 10.10 I noticed that the development for scim has ceased and lots of people recommend moving to ibus. So I tried: I got ibus and ibus-anthy installed. I choose ibus as keyboard method input system under System->Adminsitration->Language Support ibus is up and running. I can see the icon. In ibus opreferences I added anthy under Input methods. I restarted X resp. the whole computer. I can choose Japanese-Anthy when clicking on the ibus icon. But nothing happens. I am still writing latin characters, no anthy popped up (like it used with scim), nothing.

I have successfully installed Japanese language packages and Anthy as well as Skype. These were simple. There is a problem though and that is when I use the keyboard shortcut to activate the switch between language fonts in Skype there is no effect. What do I have to do to get the fonts to work within Skype? It works just fine with firefox, gedit and other programs; just Skype. Could this perhaps be a bug within Skype that I have no control over?

I can't seem to get Japanese input working with scim-anthy. I have scim 1.4.9 installed and the daemon running. I have the scim-anthy 1.3.1 package installed as well. I can open and modify the scim-settings, but I can't get the anthy dialog to appear. Apparently, ctrl-space should bring up the dialog, but nothing happens. I tried following the instructions on this page under "Open a program with japanese input enabled - via command line", but still no dialog. After starting the daemon, I tried:
Code: XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 gvim And no luck. Note that I don't really understand what that command is supposed to do. Should it be something different?

Before I upgraded to Karmic, I had Japanese text input set up on my system, but since the upgrade it no longer works. I can still read Japanese text, and when I press Ctrl+SPACE I still get the ANTHY box in the bottom right-hand corner, but Japanese is no longer on the list of supported languages. how to get Japanese back?

I have the Japanese language pack installed and I have ibus and anthy installed for input method management. It all works fine and dandy. Except that some kanji aren't right. Like 社会 the first of the two kanji displayed for me is the archaic version. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I can only assume it's picking up data from the wrong font package, but I'm not sure how to manage this. Happens in ibus for my own input and on websites like www.jisho.org where my input was unrelated.Using a fairly fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 lucid, I used scim for IM in Karmic but still stuck to the default japanese language support pack. Worked fine until lucid.

Actually I want to log a bug but I don't really know what package to log it against. The problem is that by default Pango is choosing the AR PL UMing CN as the font to render Japanese text when the current font doesn't have Japanese glyphs. But AR PL UMing CN is a Chinese font, so Chinese glyphs for kanji characters (e.g., 覚) are displayed. This is jarring and confusing for Japanese readers.
This situation mostly arises when you have mixed English and Japanese text. Some applications (for instance Firefox) will allow you to select a font for Asian text. Thus if the text contains only Asian characters it will use the font you select, rather than what Pango would have selected. But if it is a mix of English and Japanese, you end up with the wrong glyphs.
Other environments (like gnome-terminal, or a gedit) have difficulties as well. Since the primary interface requires mono spaced roman characters you run into difficulty selecting fonts. Most Japanese fonts only have proportional roman characters. This means that if use a nice roman font and use Japanese text (for instance file names), you end up with Chinese glyphs. What I want is a mechanism that will work across all of Gnome for selecting the font I want to use for Chinese characters. That way I can choose either Japanese or Chinese glyphs.
I realize this is low priority. It only bugs me a little, but many of my Japanese colleagues are put off from using Ubuntu because they are confused by the Chinese glyphs that pop up on my screen from time to time. As I said, I'd like to file a bug, but I'm not sure against what package...

I got the conversion to work for hiragana to kanji by downloading the language support, but now I can't input things in katakana there is no option for it on Anthy. I looked all over. There's no drop down menu for me to change it. One more thing, how do I change the default font to a different one for Japanese scripts?

After much finagling, I've finally got Anthy setup and working. (This after four versions of Ubuntu )
But I have a slight problem. The cadidate popups are TINY on my 1080p 15" screen. I have to get right up to the screen to see the characters.
Is there any way of changing the size of these popups?

I have the following problem: I want to install anthy (an input method for Japanese text) on my laptop, running with eeebuntu 4 (with upgrades). When I tried to do this with synaptic, I recieved the error message "Depends: libanthy0 but it is not going to be installed". So I installed libanthy0 manually (along with anthy-common, on which libanthy0 depends); but when I tried again to install anthy afterwards, I recieved the message "to be removed: anthy-common, libanthy0" and then "Depends: libanthy0 but it is not going to be installed" again.
When I try to install anthy using apt-get, I get the following output:
sudo apt-get install -f anthy
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
anthy: Depends: libanthy0 (= 9100h-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
From > sudo apt-get install libanthy0 I get
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libanthy0 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 191 not upgraded.
Removing libanthy0 and reinstalling it via apt-get hasn't changed anything. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? (I have tried to find it on this page and with google, and although I have found several similar posts, the solutions seemed rather specific to me and didn't help. Still, I'm sorry if I'm asking something that has already been answered somewhere.

I am running KDE 4.5.1 on Ubuntu and came to Ubuntu from Windows, On Windows they have a very sophisticated Input Method for typing foreign characters especially symbolic ones like Japanese.
I find that while Linux makes a lot of things so much easier than any other system, I have yet to figure out how to get any sort of input method running on Ubuntu (KDE Desktop).
It's important for me to be able to type hiragana, katakana, and kanji as I'm learning the Japanese language. I've browsed forums for about 2 weeks giving examples on Ibus, uuim, and some others but even though Ibus works a little buggy on Gnome I really need an alternative that's works well and with the KDE desktop.
Additionally, I have never seen any method (that did or didn't work) with installing Japanese font, everybody just said it was tricky.

I am facing a peculiar issue when printing Japanese text through CUPS (though I am not sure if this is the right forum).
I developed a Java application (that uses a graphical object to print to a PrinterJob class) that prints text (of Japanese characters) to a printer. When I login in en_US/en_UK locale, the Japanese characters get printed from my Java app just fine. However, when I login in ja_JP and give a print job through my Java app, no Japanese text is printed at all. I get characters from only within the ASCII subset printed instead. I am using Serif and Courier New fonts in my app. Relevant details are:
In ja_JP,
a@a:/usr/share/cups/charsets$ fc-match serif:lang=ja
ttf-japanese-mincho.ttf: "Sazanami Mincho" "Regular"
a@a:/usr/share/cups/charsets$ fc-match sans serif:lang=ja
ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf: "VL Gothic" "regular"
[Code]...

I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 (no desktop installed). I'm wondering how I install the necessary support for Japanese text because I have numerous files with Japanese file names and they all show up as garble. I would also like Icecast to broadcast the proper song names with Japanese characters.

I just got used to Ubuntu and was using Easy Peasy. I wanted to upgrade because I was having a few issues with EP on my EeePc 900- I went to 10.4.
I am leaving to go study abroad in Japan in about 10 days and have everything configured except the Japanese language aspect.
I went to System -> Admin -> Language Support and installed the language files, etc. After reboot, they are installed...but there is no language box or any hint at all that I can use it.
There doesn't appear to be a shortcut like ALT + SHIFT in Windows.
In the simplest terms possible (i.e. step by step), how can I be able to type Japanese in Office, Firefox, Evolution, IM, etc.?

I need to be able to switch between English and Japanese text when typing on my computer but I have no idea how to. I figured it out on both Windows and Mac but Ubuntu is giving me some trouble. I figure IBus is where I'm supposed to be going but even though I selected Japanese, it just isn't working.

I've extracted a few files through the archive manager through Ark (as well as through the command line) and some folders/files that were originally in Japanese are not properly displayed in the terminal or file browser. I can't delete them nor open them; I am informed that this file does not exist.I am running Kubuntu 11.04. I had a similar problem in Ubuntu 10.04 in that the text was not displayed properly, but the files were readable and writable.

I've been looking for a way to add Japanese language support to Debian. I need to be able to type and read Japanese for school. I've asked my Linux professor, and he wasn't sure of how to do it... =p
Edit: I've just figured out how to do this. (All you have to do in install a Japanese font). The only problem is I can't seem how to figure out how to type using Romaji and have it convert to Kana automatically, rather than having it have a Japanese keyboard layout. For example, when I type "A", it should show up as ア, and when I enter "KA" it should show up as カ.

Yesterday my Japanese input on F11x64 broke horribly. I have been using iBus all along, and didn't think I did any upgrades, but maybe there was a restart that picked up something previous. As soon as I hit the key to turn on the input method to type Japanese there would be a python process using 100% cpu, but no keyboard input. After fiddling about reinstalling python, iBus, scim and anthy and anything I else I could think of, I decided to upgrade to F13 to see if it would fix it. (trying to use scim instead of iBus hung the machine during start-up after login (I'm using KDE too if that makes any difference)). I did an upgrade instead of a fresh install fyi...
F13 is no better, and has the same issues with the python process. I have tried reinstalling everything again, as well as trying to avoid scim altogether, and just running iBus and Anthy. (The only other issue that I can think of (that prompted the initial restart) was that my .xsession-errors file in my home directory became huge -> 1.7gb!) Japanese input is crucial to my work (It doesn't even work if the default language of the system is set to Japanese), so hope someone has some ideas on how to resolve this, or even just knowing tha japanese is working for someone on a x64 KDE install would be encouraging...

I am trying to find a good virtual keyboard that is in Japanese. there doesn't seem to be much options for virtual keyboards, let alone one in japanese. The only one I have found is xvkbd, but it is very limited and somewhat glitchy. I tried setting it to Japanese, but all that does is add a button to switch to japanese that you annoyingly have to hit every time you want to enter a character. And not only that, even though the keyboard is in hiragana, it inputs katakana. Are there any other options for a virtual Japanese keyboard, or at least a way to get xvkbd to input hiragana?

I know it is possible, and I have been trying everything I can find, but I can't seem to get it to work. I went to languages in YaST and enabled Japanese as a second language, and I have tried adding japanese as a secondary keyboard layout under configure desktop-> regional and language settings. I have a little flag in the system tray that I can click to change from US to Japanese, but all that does is change what the punctuation buttons do.
