NAME
       kterm - multi-lingual terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSIS
       kterm  [-toolkitoption  ...]  [-xtermoption  ...] [-option
       ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Kterm  is  a  multi-lingual  terminal  emulator	based  on
       xterm(1).   The	major  differences of kterm from xterm is
       that it can handle multi-lingual text encoded in ISO2022,
       can display colored text, and has the statusline function.
       To input multi-lingual text, both  X  Input  Method  (XIM)
       protocol and  kinput2 protocol can be used.  See the sec-
       tions USING XIM and USING KINPUT2 for the details.

OPTIONS
       Kterm accepts all of the xterm(1) command line options  as
       well as the following additional options:

       -dfl    This option indicates that kterm should load fonts
	       dynamically (on demand). It may freeze kterm  and
	       X  server in a moment when a large font is loaded.

       +dfl    This option indicates that kterm should load fonts
	       in advance.

       -fl fontlist
	       This  option specifies fonts to be used. fontlist
	       is a comma separated list of XLFDs with	arbitrary
	       wild-cards.  kterm chooses fonts containing neces-
	       sary character sets in the list. This release may
	       use the following character sets:
	       "iso8859-1",
	       "iso8859-2",
	       "iso8859-3",
	       "iso8859-4",
	       "iso8859-5",
	       "iso8859-6",
	       "iso8859-7",
	       "iso8859-8",
	       "iso8859-9",
	       "jisx0201.1976-0",
	       "jisx0208.1990-0" or "jisx0208.1983-0",
	       "jisx0212.1990-0",
	       "gb2312.1980-0",
	       "ksc5601.1987-0", and
	       "jisc6226.1978-0" or "jisx0208.1983-0".

       -fn iso8859/1-font
	       This   option   specifies   a   normal  (non-bold)
	       ISO8859/1 font to be used when displaying  Latin-1
	       (including  ASCII)  text.  If it is not specified,

	       fontlist is used.

       -fr roman-kana-font
	       This option  specifies  a  normal  JISX0201  font.
	       This  font  must have same height and width as the
	       ISO8859/1 font.	If it is not specified, fontlist
	       is used.

       -fk kanji-font
	       This option specifies a normal JISX0208 font to be
	       used when displaying Kanji text. This  font  must
	       have  same height and twice width as the ISO8859/1
	       font.  If it is not specified, fontlist is used.

       -flb bold-fontlist

       -fb bold-font

       -frb roman-kana-bold-font

       -fkb kanji-bold-font
	       These options specify bold fonts.

       -lsp dots
	       This  option  specifies	how  much  space  to   be
	       inserted between lines.

       -ka     This  option indicates that kterm should make con-
	       nection to the  X  server  with	KEEPALIVE  socket
	       option.	It is useful when the server is a X ter-
	       minal that is frequently powered off.

       +ka     This option indicates that kterm should make  con-
	       nection	to  the X server without KEEPALIVE socket
	       option.

       -km kanji-mode
	       This option specifies the Kanji code  from/to  the
	       pty.   If  kanji-mode  is ``euc'', then it assumes
	       the input/output is coded  by  Japanese	EUC.   If
	       kanji-mode   is	``sjis'',  then it  assumes  the
	       input/output is coded by Shift-JIS code (which  is
	       the same as Microsoft Kanji code).

       -sn     By  default,  the  status line is in reverse-video
	       (relative to the rest of the window).  This option
	       causes  the status line to be in normal video (the
	       status line is still enclosed in a box).

       +sn     This option  causes  the status	line  to  be  in
	       reverse video.

       -st     This option causes the status line to be displayed
	       on startup.

KTERM(1)						 KTERM(1)

       +st     This option causes the status line not to be  dis-
	       played on startup.

       -version
	       Just displays the kterm version and exit.

       -xim    This  option  indicates that kterm should (try to)
	       open IM on startup.  If no appropriate  IM  server
	       is  running,  kterm  does  not  wait, but connects
	       after a server is available.

       +xim    This option indicates that kterm should	not  open
	       IM on startup.

       following vt100 widget specific resources:

ACTIONS
       The following additional actions are  provided  for  using
       within the vt100 translations resources:

       open-im([input-method])
	       This  action  (tries to) open IM for the specified
	       input method modifier.  If input-method	is  omit-
	       ted,  the  last	modifier  remains  unchanged.  If
	       input-method is the key-word XMODIFIERS, the XMOD-
	       IFIERS environment variable is used.

       close-im()
	       This action closes IM.

       begin-conversion(conversion-atom)
	       This  action begins conversion to input text using
	       kinput2 protocol.   conversion-atom  for Japanese
	       conversion is ``_JAPANESE_CONVERSION.''

TERMCAP
       Termcap(5) entries that work with kterm include ``kterm,''
       ``xterm,'' ``vt102,'' ``vt100'' and ``ansi.''

USING XIM
       Kterm first sets its  international  environment (locale)
       using  the vt100 resource "eucJPLocale" (ignoring the LANG
       environment variable), because it uses Japanese EUC encod-
       ing  for the internal input code.  If your system does not
       support any default locale names, specify  an  appropriate
       one  in	the  app-defaults  file.   Kterm,  then, sets the
       locale modifiers according to the  resource  "inputMethod"
       or the XMODIFIERS environment variable.

       When  kterm is started with the "-xim" option or the "Open
       Input Method" entry in the vtMenu  is  selected, it  just
       registers  a callback for notification of instantiation of
       IM servers.  If an appropriate IM  server  is  running  or
       becomes	available, kterm connects with the server.  Start
       of conversion depends  on  the  configuration  of  the  IM
       server.

       If kterm is connecting with a kinput2 protocol server, any
       IM can not be opened.

       For  further  information  (how	to  input/convert/correct
       text,  etc.),  see  the conversion server's document (kin-
       put2(1)).

       Non-Japanese Languages
       To input non-Japanese text, set the vt100 resource  "eucJ-
       PLocale" to your favorite locale name, and set Kanji mode
       to Japanese EUC (using the "-km euc" option,  "*vt100.kan-
       jiMode: euc" resource, or the "Japanese EUC Mode" entry in
       the vtMenu).  This should  work	for  any  locale  because

X Version 11		12 July 1996				5

KTERM(1)						 KTERM(1)

       every  character input	from  the IM is passed to the pty
       without any modification in Japanese EUC Mode.  Note  that
       this mechanism will be changed in the future.

       CAUTION
       Kterm  may be hanged when the connecting IM server dies on
       some specific timing.  Do not kill IM servers on a  kterm
       which  is  connected with the server, and IM servers which
       is establishing connection with any kterm.  If you want to
       kill  an IM  server, make sure that no kterm is connected
       with the server.

       NOTICE
       Kterm can not communicate with servers using XIMP protocol
       based on X11R5.

USING KINPUT2
       By  default,  pressing control-Kanji key starts conversion
       for Japanese text using kinput2 protocol.  The  conversion
       server,	such  as kinput2(1), must be started by the time,
       otherwise you will see warning message `Conversion  Server
       not  found'.  For other languages, if any server is avail-
       able, you can bind a key to start conversion  by changing
       the translation table.

       If  an IM is (being) open, conversion using kinput2 proto-
       col can not be started.

       For  further  information  (how	to  input/convert/correct
       text,  etc.),  see  the conversion server's document (kin-
       put2(1)).

BUGS
       Kterm assumes, like xterm, that all single byte characters
       have the same widths, and further, assumes that the widths
       of multi(two)-byte characters are  as  twice  as that  of
       ASCII characters.

       This  version  of  kterm uses ``ESC $ B'' to designate the
       Kanji character set to input Kanji text in JIS mode.
