Unfortunately, SCIM doesn't work in Acrobat Reader 8. Neither with
GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dxim, nor with GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dscim.
However, getting SCIM to run even with Adobe Reader 7 is a bit tricky
if one wants to keep recommended GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dscim. I have a question
and a suggestion:
1. Is the purpose of
case ${ADOBE_LANG} in
.....
JPN) : ${GTK_IM_MODULE:=3Dxim}; export GTK_IM_MODULE ;;
to override any other existing value?
2. My suggestion is to enhance this idea to all languages in the
following way (that overcomes one SCIM problem described below).
Namely, if you have this in xinitrc:
GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dxim
QT_IM_MODULE=3Dxim
XMODIFIERS=3D@im=3DSCIM
SCIM will work everywhere (incl. Reader 7), but it will behave very
badly in GTK applications. If you use SCIM's recommended values:
GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
QT_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
XMODIFIERS=3D@im=3DSCIM
=20
it will not work in Linux and QT apps (incl. Reader 7). The problem
is (I don't know if this is FreeBSD specific) that GTK_IM_MODULE,
once set to 'scim', can't be changed to 'xim' in the same X session,
so the line like aforementioned JPN-specific setting will not have
any effect in such environment. The same goes for XMODIFIERS once set
to @im=3DSCIM.
The workaround I found is to use the following unusual values:
=20
GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
QT_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
XMODIFIERS=3D@im=3DXIM
(start "scim -d" manually in ~/.xinitrc)
and to use this code in /usr/local/bin/acroread (for all languages):
if [ "${GTK_IM_MODULE}" =3D "scim" ]; then
if [ "x$XIM_PROGRAM" !=3D "x" ]; then
export XIM_PROGRAM=3D""
echo "WARNING: \$XIM_PROGRAM variable sometimes can't be"
echo "effectively changed. If you have problems running"
echo "SCIM, don't define it in your xinitrc."
fi
if [ "$XMODIFIERS" =3D "@im=3DSCIM" ]; then
echo "WARNING: If you have problems running SCIM, please"
echo "try to set \$XMODIFIERS to \"@im=3DXIM\" (instead of"
echo "\"@im=3DSCIM\") in your xinitrc."
fi
export GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dxim
export XMODIFIERS=3D@im=3DSCIM
fi
This way, SCIM will work optimally in both GTK apps and Acrobat
Reader 7.
Best regards.
