I agree, as an interim solution. However, fonts are not available
yet (only "ja" version is available for 12x13 and only "ja" and "ko"
are available for 18x18) and I am afraid that it cannot be an
"interim" now....
To achieve this, we have to have a default font name in XLFD,
not in short name such as "fixed". However, the default font for
8bit mode should be "fixed" because non-Latin-1 8bit language speakers
change their font path order to have their "fixed" font in their
preferable encodings.

Please check http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode/ (incomplete yet),
if you are interested in which ideographs are not accepted.
However, I think you are not interested in my page, since the purpose
of my page is to show we need font-choosing mechanism for plain text.
I think the page doesn't help implementation or design of XTerm.
