Bridge Configuration
X
To use uim as an input method on X, add the following lines to an X startup script:
FILE
~/.xprofile# Set up environment variables for various applications
export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim # Required for Gtk applications
export QT_IM_MODULE=uim # Required for Qt applications
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim # Required for X applications without Gtk or Qt
# Start the XIM bridge (required for X applications without Gtk or Qt)

uim-fep
uim can be used as an input method on a console environment via uim-fep bridge. No configurations are needed, so just run it on the console:
user $uim-fep Note
The basic Linux VT cannot display CJK characters. In order to get fully working CJK console environment, a framebuffer terminal such as app-i18n/fbterm is required too.
