Emacs

When writing Japanese under Ubuntu, I use Anthy (one of popular Japanese input systems) with IBus (Intelligent Input Bus for Linux / Unix OS) input method for all X applications but Emacs. Interestingly, there seems to be no IBus interfaces available to Emacs at this moment. For Emacs, I use Anthy through anthy.el interface, which seems to be the most common option when writing Japanese under Emacs. In this post, I summarize how to configure Japanese input with Anthy under Emacs.

I have been using the 6x13 fixed font exclusively in terminals, Emacs, and anywhere else as long as I can configure to use it. The 6x13 is my most favorite font due to its beauty and practical form factor optimized for code development. Especially, using 6x13 with Emacs is crucial when I am writing code.

First, from the menu bar of Emacs, follow "Options", "Customize Emacs", and "Browse Customization Groups". Then, follow the following steps:

1. Click "Option Browse Url Browser Function"
