13:57:39smokeinkinstalled some extra fonts and now Japanese, Russian and Traditional Chinese inputs are displayed correctly. Simplified Chinese and Arabic are still problematic though
13:58:44smokeinkno idea why, because the other apps were displaying languages correctly even before I installed these extra fonts
14:02:44smokeinkI can type any language I want inside xTerm and it'll display all characters just fine. Doing the same in that simple X11 IME app above results in garbage, it can't figure out the fonts , except for Japanese and Russian (and I think Traditional Chinese works because it's using the Japanese font)
14:18:07smokeinkXCreateFontSet uses "-*-*--*-*-*-*" so it should be able to find the necessary fonts... Could the problem be that XLoadQueryFont(display,"*9x15"); ??
