I ported kterm-5.2.0 to FreeBSD-1.1 and put it on freebsd.cdrom.com.
You can either grab the source from
pub/FreeBSD/ports/x11/kterm
or the binary package from
pub/FreeBSD/incoming/kterm_bin.tgz
^^^^^^^^will be moved to packages-1.1 soon
kterm is an xterm than can display Japanese text. It recognizes JIS,
EUC and Shift-JIS.
It also understands ANSI color sequences, so you can use it with the
color ls that is in the incoming/ directory. If you want to use it
only as a color xterm and not for Japanese, specify a small font for
-fr and -fk, like
kterm -fn <relgular font> -fr nil2 -fk nil2
so that they won't bloat the size of your window (the default kanji
font is taller than the English fonts that most people use).
