Er, yes... but I'm not sure what that has to do with it. .Xauthority
is a file which the X server checks to see if you have permission
(cookies) to access the display. I guess you might mean .Xdefaults
or .Xresources instead, and yes I have that file too (both of them,
though they're essentially redundant), which contains the resources
above.
Yes, you are right, I meant .Xdefaults
here is something I just put together:

Mostly, yes. And having the right locale. But it does depend a bit
on what terminal program you're using, and how your fonts are
configured.
I've noticed that that "urxvt" terminal works much better than xterm for Asian fonts especially. No special
configuration needed it just works.
urxvt works OK locally but accessing another box over ssh and doing some root work I have experiencing some
strange warnings eg:
# dispatch-conf
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
I've never seen it before.
