It occurs to me that if you're setting fonts by hand you may be
falling afoul of the restriction in kterm that zenkaku fonts are
expected to be exactly twice the width of the hankaku fonts.  Since
point size refers to the *height* of the character and the aspect
ratios are variable, I'd guess this is your problem.  It's best to use
square kanji fonts (eg 14x14) and rectangular hankaku fonts (eg 7x14).
Most kanji fonts are square, but many hankaku fonts, especially roman,
are not.  Use 7x14 or 8x16 or rk8x16 etc.

Of course, you cannot use proportional roman fonts.

I'm not sure if kterm depends on kanji fonts being square.  I think
not, but I'm not sure.
