Japanese characters
Everything necessary to set up an environment with Japanese character manipulation.
Install uim and anthy, managing input of characters.
pacman -S uim anthy
Add a Japanese font.
pacman -S ttf-sazanami
Initialize UIM, for example in ~/.xinitrc.
# Settings for Japanese input
export GTK_IM_MODULE='uim'
export QT_IM_MODULE='uim'
uim-xim &
export XMODIFIERS=@im='uim'
#Toolbar for anthy
uim-toolbar-gtk &
Then, in Settings->Input Methods (for XFCE), use those input methods (some are perhaps not really necessary):
Anthy
Anthy (UTF-8)
Latin characters
m17n-ja-anthy
m17n-ja-tcode
