So I installed fcitx and installed a Japanese font, (Anthy). When I turn it off to type with my US layout keyboard, the special characters are mixmatched. the colon key makes a +. The equality key returns a ^.

I went to system settings > keyboard and found that I was, according to the system, with the US layout.

Any idea how to restore the keyboard layout to default, or how to access the config file?

What's used in the second field of the layout? Maybe you can change it to default there. (Or simply delete your current layout and add a fresh one)

I did what @Eric G suggested, but I deleted the old layout setting, so that I didn't have any layouts, and clicked that plus button, went down to my language (US English) and selected default. Everything seems to be working! Thanks Eric!
