Have you gained ground on this? 

I installed mlterm a while ago, but haven't fooled 
around with it much, yet. I noticed that the man 
page is full of font-related info, though. Mlterm 
displays double-byte characters well, out of the box. 
But the single-byte looks terrible :( 
(for example, the output from ls -l). 

Being a bit too busy (lazy?) to figure out what that's 
all about, I use the utf-8 capable xterm which pretty 
much gets the job done at the moment. I read that 
it will allow you to use kinput2x and ami simultaneously...
what about other IM simultaneously (he said, greedily)...
if it is superior in that area, that would be a good reason 
to switch.
