Table 9-5 JavaOS Localization Properties

Property Name 

Default Value 

Description  

javaos.font. properties. home

/FONTS

The local path name of a directory that contains a lib subdirectory. The font.properties files are read from this lib directory. The javaos.mountlist property is typically used to associate some server path with the /FONTS directory to enable JavaOS to load and use fonts from a server. For more information, refer to Chapter 11, Setting Locales and Adding Fonts."

javaos.im. compose. deadkeys

false

This property changes the following keys into accent 

keys: '(single quote) "(double quote) `(grave accent) and 

^(circumflex). Use this property if your keyboard is a 

U.S. keyboard, you are not setting the javaos.kbd property, and you wish to produce accented characters

for ISO Latin locales. If set to true, the above keys do not produce a value of their own but cause the next key pressed to be an accented character. For example, pressing ' plus "a" produces á. If this property is false, these keys generate their expected values.

javaos.im.url

null 

Set this property to the host name of the machine running Asian or Japanese Solaris that has the language engine you want to access. (A Microsoft Windows95` or Microsoft NT` system can also be used if a IIIMP (Internet/Intranet Input Method Protocol) server from JavaSoft` for the PC server is installed on it.) Set as follows:

iiimp://iiimphost:port/engine

where: 

  • iiimphost is the system running the language engine

  • port is 9010 by default but can be different if configured that way during the server installation.

Valid values of engine are provided in Chapter 11, Setting Locales and Adding Fonts."

javaos. loginLocaleList 

en_US

A semicolon-separated list of the locales to be presented as choices to the user at login. A locale is defined using one of the ISO-639 standard two-letter codes that define user.language followed by an underscore character "_" and one of the ISO-3166 standard two-letter codes that define user.country. For example:

-djavaos.loginLocaleList=\ en_US;fr_FR;ja_JP;zh_CN;zh_TW

javaos.im. lookup.button

false

This property controls how the JavaStation user selects characters when using a Korean, Japanese, or Chinese input method. If false, when the list of candidate characters is displayed, letters are used to indicate each choice, and the user selects a choice by typing the letter. If true, letters are replaced with buttons so that the user clicks on a button to pick a choice. Note that enabling this option will negatively impact user input performance.

javaos.im. status.fixpopup

false 

Setting this property to true enables a pop-up window with input method status information.
