So it seems like it was mostly a font issue. I'm curious about that the "odd prompt" is... Would you mind posting it? You can use the same font with Eterm, and it should work, though I'm not sure how to tell Eterm to use that font. If you want a bigger font, you can also try this one: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 The trick is that these two fonts (this one and the previous one I mentioned) are multi-byte unicode fonts which have the glyphs for the Japanese characters included. These are the only two bitmapped fonts I'm aware of that have them (they include all the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean glyphs). If you used konsole or gnome-terminal instead, all that should be handled for you. It should work there "automagically" without any configuration, other than setting your locale properly. But the font rendering in those terminals sucks... Hard to read without using big fonts. -- Derek D.
