Date: Sun 10-Mar-1990 01:24:30 From: Unknown Subject: kanji software for NeXT I have gotten kterm and kanjips working on the NeXT. kterm is a kanji (Japanese character set) terminal emulator which runs under X; kanjips is a set of software allowing you to print kanji files on the NeXT printer. Everything builds in a more or less straightforward manner. The biggest hurdle in getting kterm running is recognizing that the bdftosnf program builds incorrectly on the NeXT. When building the various .snf forms of kanji fonts, you must give a -p4 switch to bdftosnf on the NeXT, otherwise you'll get unusable fonts. For example, bnftosnf -p4 k14.bdf > k14.snf The significant instructions for the kanjips configuration dialog are in Japanese. Fortunately, most people with better than a 1st year understanding of kanji should have no problem reading it. You should create /usr/local/font and link the jis24 font into it before starting the configure. I haven't yet gotten skk or nemacs built; skk requires nemacs and nemacs requires emacs sources. Alas, this is strictly a fun project and I have to do some "real" work too, so someone else will have to take it on from here... Kudos to MIT for creating X on the NeXT, and Craig Rice at St. Olaf College for getting the kterm sources together. _____ ____ ---+--- /-\ Mark Crispin Atheist & Proud _|_|_ _|_ || ___|__ / / 6158 Lariat Loop NE R90/6 pilot |_|_|_| /|\-++- |=====| / / Bainbridge Island, WA "Gaijin!
