One of the most attractive features of Fedora/Red Hat, as far as our
Islands are concerned, is its aggressive attempt to make an OS that
bridges the barrier between Western and Eastern languages. Red Hat 8 was
the first OS that's based on unicode (UTF-8).

Now FC2 is bravely adopting the new Intranet/Internet Input Method
Framework (IIIMF), which is the next generation Input Method Framework
set to replace the legacy X Window System Input Method (XIM) used by
existing Input Methods such as chinput, xcin, kinput2, etc. See:

Most in this forum probably will not be able to appreciate the
significance of this development. But it won't hurt to be aware of
what's going on. wayne
