Interesting. But shouldn't you be able to use the same fonts with
gnome terminal as you did with kterm? (Not that I would know so well;
I switched to xterm for Japanese stuff after it got UTF-8 support, but
I've never been very happy with the fonts either.)

I'm curious, why would this be? I do everything in UTF-8 as far as
display is concerned, and it's been working out fairly well for me.
vim of course takes are of dealing with editing files stored as UTF-8,
EUC-JP, Shift-JIS, or whatever, and when I just want to cat a file, or
deal with a system that happens to have non-UTF-8 filenames or something
like that, I just run the text through nkf.
