I hadn't realised you were trying to run kterm under Win95. I am not aware
of the capabilities of the X-server s/w available on Win95, but it is
possible that it cannot handle double-byte codes. Have you checked?

Yes, but these are single-byte codes, ne?

>> PS: I also have all these fonts used by my X-Server under a separate subdirectory. These are (.FON) fies recognized by Windows . These are the same files as in the Linux subdirectory. So, I face the same problem even if I stop the font server . 

I have no experience of X-servers with fonts other than .bdf & .pcf.

I think you have gone way out into uncharted waters.......
