Bumping old topic.

I tried installing MSCIM today
- mscim
- mscim-bridge-agent
- mscim-bridge-client-gtk
- mscim-bridge-client-qt4
- mscim-modules-table
- mscim-tables-ja
- mscim-tables-symbol

The interface is better than maemocjk-him-scim-anthy and I don't have to close the keyboard first to enter the input mode. Lost the virtual keyboard, but I can live with it. Lost the symbol vkeyboard, but there's workaround (mscim-tables-symbol ?).

The problem I had is, in the kanji transform mode, it seems to be unable to recognize many input, such as the half-sized characters (ぁ, ぃ, ぅ, ぇ, ぉ, ッ) and the voice with two characters (しゃ, しゅ, しょ, etc).
In addition, the input method seems to only transform per kanji only, so words with more than one kanji need to be typed one by one.
BTW, is there Anthy for MSCIM ?

But searching, most other users seems to have problem with the virtual keyboard missing instead of kanji recognizing, so something I missed when installing ?
