    Dear List Members,

    (To Alan Horkan: I'll bugzilla it in addition. I answered
    off-list only accidentically, sorry)

    I tried another input method, which was suggested
    on the unicode_at_unicode.org mailing list. It is
    available in W2K and XP and should in theory give
    every Unicode App am input method (it works for
    example in Notepad, which doesn't handle Alt-X)

    Simply (?) add an Input Locale:
    Chines (Taiwan) - Chinese (Traditional) - Unicode

    This will give you an IME which accepts hex
    digits and outputs Unicode chars.

    But this doesn't work with Abiword. Effectively
    all characters sent by this IME are dumbed down
    to Latin-1.

    Perhaps this could be even easier to fix, and
    more important, as it may effect other more
    usual methods to input CJK.

    Regards,
    Peter Jacobi
