Try this and let me know how it goes:

env LANG=ja_JP.eucJP /usr/local/bin/mlterm --fg=white --bg=black
--geometry=80x25 --km=utf8 --xim --noucsfont --fontsize=12
--term=xterm --ls=true --sb=true --sl=2000

Also, font settings are stored in ~/.mlterm/aafont

Mine looks like:

ISO8859_1 = bitstream vera sans mono-medium-iso8859-1;
ISO8859_15 = bitstream vera sans mono-medium-iso8859-15;
ISO10646_UCS2_1 = bitstream vera sans mono-medium-iso10646-1;
ISO10646_UCS2_1_BOLD = bitstream vera sans mono-bold-iso10646-1;
#JISX0201_ROMAN=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#JISX0201_KATA=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#JISX0208_1983=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#ISO10646_UCS2_1=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#ISO10646_UCS2_1_BIWIDTH=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#ISO10646_UCS4_1=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;
#ISO10646_UCS4_1_BIWIDTH=Kochi Mincho-iso10646-1;

Note I had to comment out all the Japanese font stuff as those fonts
were not installed at the time I was testing :-(

For what it is worth here is my .mlterm/main file

fg_color = white
bg_color = black
scrollbar_view_name = athena
input_method = xim
fontsize = 14
fade_ratio = 75
use_transbg = false
wall_picture =
sb_fg_color = gray
sb_bg_color = black
scrollbar_mode = right
borderless = true
use_anti_alias = true
logsize = 4096
name = xterm
ENCODING = auto
word_separators = " ,;="
