Well, this reminds me your past word "quite time consuming".. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sun3/1996/06/24/0001.html The essencial problem is that wscons(4) lacks (but ancient x68k ite(4) still supports): - ISO-2022-JP multibyte support - EUC-JP support (currently broken but will be fixed soon after my changes) - displaying Japanese character using the X680x0 on-board Kanji CG-ROM If we have never be able to reach the reasonable goal for >25 years, I think we should rather consider acceptable and implementable compromise.
