Customizing Ami

If you see just garbled characters then you should check again the prerequisites.
Choosing a keyboard
The tabs on the top show (from left to right) "keyboard", "setup", "key binding", "appearance". Then follows a list of available keyboards. From top to the bottom they read
"두벌식" -> “2-set keyboard layout“
"세벌식" -> "3-set keyboard layout"
"세벌식_S390" -> "3-set keyboard layout S390"
It seems that these layout correspond to korean typewriters. Please feel free to use the one which prefer.
The buttons at the bottom say "About Ami", "Save", "Quit". Pressing "About Ami" will show you the following dialog.

Different keyboard layouts
Starting with Ami version 2.0 (a prelease can be found at http://people.debian.org/~cwryu/debian/ami/) it is easy to customize a keyboard for the various european languages, e.g. german keyboards are of the QWERTZ type, whereas US are QWERTY and french AZERTY.
Have a look at /usr/share/hangul_keyboard (the exact location may vary depending upon where ami is installed in your system). There you find *.kbd files.
Get the one which is closest to you needs, copy it to a new file in the same folder, edit it with a editor capable of displaying hangul characters (e.g. gedit) and change the few keystrokes which you would like to change.
Then restart ami 2.0 and you should see a new item with your new keyboard.
