So, finally i decided to write a little tutorial on how to make chinese
language support available on Dragora.

Let's start from how to setup runlevel 3. First of all we need to install a
chinese input method (fonts are optional) and then setup the environments
variables:

1) Get latest Fcitx chinese input method source tarball from
http://www.fcitx.org/download/ (at the time of this tutorial last version
is 3.6.3, but you can modify the scripts to fit newer versions), create a
directory in you home called fcitx, create a file inside ti called
fcitx-build and paste inside the file the content below, then chmod +x the
build file (make sure the build file is in the same directory of the
source) and execute the build ex: sudo ./fcitx-build. When finished install
the package with the command: # pkg add fcitx-[version number]-i486-1.tlz

# Build the package:
makepkg -l ${OUT}/${P}-${V}-${ARCH}-${B}.tlz


2) create a file called .xinitrc in your home directory and paste the
content below using the editor you prefer (you can use vim, in Dragora is
installed by default, or mousepad if you prefer an editor in X graphical
environment), then save it and close your editor.

#.xinitrc chinese Dragora support begins
export LANG=zh_CN.gb2312
export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GBK" #use this for a complete chinese
                            #environment

#export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" #replace this withe above LC_CTYPE
                               #variable for an english environment
                               #with chinese support
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"

fcitx &

xfce4-session
#.xinitrc chinese Dragora support ends

3) now kill X and restart fcitx session with $ startx. Your chinese
environment should be set...


For runlevel 4 follow the first step above (install fcitx), then in your
home create a file called .xprofile and paste inside it the below content
using the editor you prefer (you can use vim, in Dragora is installed by
default, or mousepad if you prefer an editor in X graphical environment),
then save it and close your editor. After that, just logout and restart
your fcitx X session: chinese support should be available.

#.xprofile chinese Dragora support begins
export LANG=zh_CN.gb2312
export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GBK" #use this for a complete chinese
                            #environment

#export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" #replace this withe above LC_CTYPE
                               #variable for an english environment
                               #with chinese support
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"

fcitx &

#.xprofile chinese Dragora support ends

Fonts (optional). To install chinese different type of fonts (they should
have a better rendering then the default ones) download the fonts you like
(you can try the fonts at
http://fr.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_wqy/downloads/wqy-zenhei/0.8.38%20%28Pangu%29/wqy-zenhei-0.8.38-1.tar.gz/)
then copy them as root in /user/share/fonts/[your custom directory] and
then run the command as root: fc-cache -vf. Your fonts should be available
once you restart X.

To report a bug or for suggestions on how to implement different input
methods please send an email to the mailing list or wait for me in
dragora's IRC chat channel ;-)
