Can't activate SCIM input method with en_US.UTF-8 locale

Can't activate SCIM input method with en_US.UTF-8 locale

[Zhang Wei]

The SCIM input method can be activated in any other software except Emacs with
en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Did you set the env. var. XMODIFIERS to @im=SCIM?

Emacs doesn't use gtk_im_module but XIM protocol.

Install some X core fonts, e.g. xfonts-100dpi, might help.
