Introduction

The input method server (IM Server) handles Simplified Chinese input for Simplified Chinese Solaris software. The IM Server receives keyboard input and makes the input available as Simplified Chinese characters to Simplified Chinese Solaris system applications. It can serve any internationalized X Window application that uses X Window Input Method (XIM) application program interfaces (API) to receive language input.

This chapter explains the basic display features of the IM Server.

You need to be familiar with the input method terminology in the chapter 4 before reading this chapter. However, to create Simplified Chinese text using Solaris applications, you do not need to read beyond the first section of this chapter.
