Background: A few years ago, a coworker set up our ancient Japanese Epson laptops with tiny core so that I didn't have to throw them away. Unfortunately, he no longer works here, and I'm not very knowledgeable about Tiny Core (but I'm learning!)
So I'd like, if possible, to fix the keyboard settings and be able to read Japanese writing on the internet.
PROBLEM 1Japanese Epson Laptop with JIS keyboard can type, but some symbols are in typical English qwerty locations instead of JIS locations (example: shift+2 is @ instead of ").
Followed directions in FAQ:
http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#keyboardInstalled keymaps.tcz.
Tried code:
sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwerty/fi-latin9.kmap
but it doesn't change the symbols
Not a big deal, since I can figure it out, but it would be convenient if I could get it to work.
Is there something else I'm not doing?
I tried adding above code (minus sudo) to bootlocal.sh, but again, no change. Not broken, but could be better.
Problem 2I want to be able to read Japanese on the internet. I don't care if I can't type Japanese (though that would be convenient, it's not 100% necessary), but being able to view Japanese characters on websites would be useful.
I downloaded some fonts from google fonts.
I want to put them in /usr/share/fonts (I'm using a file manager called SpaceFM as a gui for file folders to copy paste), but it tells me I don't have permission.
I'm not sure how to proceed. Advice?
Thanks in advance.
