I don't like the spindly 9x18 fonts so much, for large display I appreciate
the 10x20 fonts. Unfortunately, no double-width character extension of it is
distributed so far. A while ago, someone recommended to produce one myself
using a font editor. So I took xmbdfed and the only suitable thing I found
was to apply "translate glyphs" twice, by +2/+2, then by -1/-1. I also
adopted the font properties to the best of my understanding (this X font
stuff is somewhat confusing, I think), so I have the following fonts now:
9x18.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1
18x18ja.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ja-18-120-100-100-C-180-ISO10646-1
18x18ko.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ko-18-120-100-100-C-180-ISO10646-1
10x20.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1
20x20ja.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ja-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1
20x20ko.bdf: FONT -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-ko-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1
(I have no idea why the original 9x18 and 10x20 fonts differ with respect
to "120-100-100" versus "200-75-75" but I thought the best thing would
be to keep these consistent in the double-width fonts although xmbdfed
mangled them first.)
With a 9x18 xterm, it takes double-width characters from 18x18ja and
everything works fine. With a 10x20 xterm, it seems to take double-width
characters from the "ko" font (judged by shape) (why this difference?),
and it does not work: the double-width characters are displayed in single
width.
