Comment 1 Eido Inoue 2004-08-23 21:00:00 UTC
bterm can be used as a workaround for utf-8 chinese (and other
hanxi/hanja/kanji base languages).

however, setup and the other terminals, for chinese, should be run in
gnome-terminal or something similar for the best support.

the next release should have a console based CJK solution.
