# Displaying Japanese halfwidth Katakana characters

Halfwidth Katakana characters might not be displayed correctly. This is due to the lack of font data for those characters.

# Japanese Kana-Kanji conversion users

On Japanese versions of Linux, you can use a Japanese input method such as Canna or FreeWnn. Use the following sections to avoid problems when using these Japanese input methods.

## All Input Method Editor (IME) users

If you use an IME on a TextArea or a TextField component, the committed text sometimes disappears when you commit the composed text. To avoid this problem, move the mouse pointer away from the composed text and away from the status information line when you commit the composed text. If you do encounter the problem, press the Enter key again; the committed text is displayed.

If you use an IME on a TextArea or a TextField component, the composed text is sometimes displayed in the wrong position. To avoid this problem, do not change the component position vertically after you commit a string. If you do encounter this problem, reactivate the IME; the composed text is displayed at the correct position. The committed text is always displayed at the correct position.

## Canna users

If you are using the Canna input method with the kinput2 input method server, some visual feedback from the input method is not visible while you are in KIGOU input mode. To avoid the problem, move the focus onto the client window after the Auxiliary Control Window opens.
