Linux: how to show Chinese charactors using gedit

'gedit' is an editor in Linux. It has been internationalized and is an excellent software. In order to show or type Chinese by it, need to select some Chinese codings like GB Hz, GB 2312 ect. First, you open a blank file, when you save it, you will be asked that what kind of coding you wanna use, please pick any one of Chinese code. Do NOT use 'AutoDect', sometimes it is not working.

Linux: chinese input method

My laptop has this method available, however, since the reason I mentioned in the last entry (notification area is not set on the panel), I cannot find it.

Here I am not gonna talk how to install it. Just say how to use it: open one program, right-click, find an entry 'Input method' and being ready to input.

After installing scim, make sure add the following lines into the file '~/.xinitrc'
scim -d
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
so that you don't need other settings.
