That's good.  If you have any suggestion to improve the
behaviour, please feel free to write to me.  I'm going to
include it in the next release of m17n-db.

In which locale, have you tried?

Even after restarting scim, with LANG=ja_JP.eucJP (my
default), I can select only a few m17n-based input method
(ja-xxx) with OO.o.  But, with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, I can
select all m17n-based input methods including zh-pinyin.

It's surely strange.
