Mlterm looks decent in Shift_JIS and EUC-JP mode, but UTF-8,
while usable, looks awful. The Japanese characters are really 
bitty. Plus, whatever font it is using is not a full unicode
font like bitstream cyberbit, so certain oddball characters 
like enclosed kanji don't show up.

I've tried to follow the directions for using tt fonts in 
the man page but can't seem to get it to work.
