Re: What happened to Mike Fabian and his documents?

I didn't imagine that you are talking about jfbterm.

I am not sure jfbterm still work.

"fbterm" (without 'j') can now show Japanese characters and
we can input Japanese characters by using fcitx-fbterm
with fcitx-mozc, fcitx-kkc, or fcitx-anthy.

Many things have been changed.
So I wonder if that old document is still helpful.
