I have installed the maemo cjk and loved it. One question though, where can I find the common symbols, - colon, at, pipe, question mark etc. ? I found some but not all under ja pad - dot however they look like 2 byte characters so I guess they won t work for password...
Just can t figure out...
A note for (advanced) 770 users. The above deb package will not work on the 770. At least not directly. Installing will give an error (apparently the fc-cache command has changed)
To install on the 770, one needs to download and extract the package, become root to copy the ttf font to /usr/share/fonts, issue fc-cache -fv to refresh the font cache and finally to a reboot.
Please let me know if anyone needs more detailed instructions
Could you please post a step by step for the 770 ?
Thanks for your help,
Ron
First of all, for this to work, you need xterm and know how to become root. (see http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_EASILY_BecomeRoot) Also, to save internal flash memory, the font will be placed on the memory card.
Here are the steps:
Download the true type font from maemocjk's subversion repository:

Well if you choose to install the maemo-chinese-support package, then the original input method is replaced. If you only install the true type font package (link in prev. message) then the original input method is still there.
I think I've read every post possible, or maybe I'm just too new to this, and not really understanding how it works. But I've installed every possible file I could install for this Chinese Support Input Method. Ｉjust don't understand, why the original keyboard disappears after I install the CJK Input method from http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/os2008.html for N800 on OS2008. If there's now keyboard, then there's no kind "typing" possible at all, correct?
It sounds as if this works for some people, and doesn't work for other people? Is that the case? Does this Chinese Input method work for anybody out there? Maybe I'm missing a step that I'm not doing, but I've basically followed all the steps from http://maemocjk.garage.maemo.org/os2008.html.
Please help! I'm desperate! I've re-flashed my Nokia N800 few too many times already! (Because it won't let me un-install the chinese input files as well >_<) Or that I just really don't know how, and I consider myself a pretty savvy PC user (strictly Windows that is, first time Linux user).
If you have OS2008 on your N800 and don't care much about input, then you will get the best Chinese browsing experience by copying arialuni.ttf from your XP computer to /usr/share/fonts/.
