Typing Asian characters

MoreEbooks · Yesterday, 02:41 PM

I am using the 'fcitx' Input Method mechanism on Debian Linux. But the Calibre EPUB Editor seems to ignore it and thus I can not type in Asian characters. Other programs on the same machine, such as LibreOffice and emacs, work fine with fcitx. Is there something I have to do so that Calibre will listen to fcitx?

Presumably your fcitx Qt plugin is incompatible with the Qt version shipped with calibre, use your distro packaged calibre and it should work.
