[Click, click]. OK, I'm now looking at a line of text which has Japanese, French and German words. All the acutes, graves, umlauts, etc. are there. The line is in EUC-JP, and the Latin_with_diacritics characters have come from JIS X 0212. The .bdf font for JIS X 0212 is standard in RH7.1 and works out of the box in kterm. OK, I'm using two font files, but if I wrote entirely in discriticed letters and obscure kanji, I could meet Pablo's criterion. 8-)} Also, I'm seeing the bloated "JIS ASCII", so my solution is rather artificial.. >> French studiants of Japanese are continuosly faced with that problem. Most of the French people I am interacting with about Japanese matters are using UTF-8. Sadly they mostly are using Windblows.
