Installation Instructions

# rpm -Uvh gtk+*-1.0.4jp-1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh gimp*-1.0.0jp-1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh gimp-1.0.0jp-1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh gimp-data-extras-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh type1inst-0.6.1-2.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh xfreefonts-0.10-9.noarch.rpm
Notice that I had to repeat 'rpm -Uvh' for gimp-1.00jp-1 above because of a shared library packaging scheme change from the English versions.

Usage

Before using gimp, remove the old .gimp directory in your home directory.
$ cd
$ rm -rf .gimp
Now you can try

$ gimp

In order to use Japanese extensions, do the following:

$ cd ~/.gimp
$ mv gtkrc gtkrc.en
$ ln -s gtkrc.ja gtkrc
$ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
$ export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
$ export GDK_CONV=/usr/doc/gtk+-1.0.4jp/gtkconv-1.0.4.2/dic.ja_JP.ujis
$ gimp
Now you should see Japanese menus. You can also input Japanese text with kinput2 by selecting "T" from the tool palette, clicking on the canvas to popup a text input dialog, choosing a Japanese font, putting the cursor in the text input box, and hitting SHIFT+SPACE to start the input method.

Caution:
Under 256-color environment, button icons don't show themselves up properly. If any other color-intensive application is currently running, "gimp" even fails to start. Use 32000 colors or more.
