  Hi,

  I've really gotten to like kterm with _big_ characters.  This is the
line in .fvwmrc that launches it the way I like:

        Exec    "Kterm"         exec /usr/X11R6/bin/kterm   -sb -sl 500 -j -ls -fk kanji24 -fn 12x24 -fr r24 -cr LightGoldenrod &

  Then in .Xdefaults, I have these lines (awful having things in different
places like this - must tidy up some day):

kterm*background:  DarkSlateGray
kterm*foreground:  LightGoldenrod
kterm*VT100*Translations:  #override \
kterm*allowSendEvents: true

  (The third and fourth line are for Japanese input).

  On a 1024x768 screen this makes for very nice, readable kanji - not to 
mention romaji.

  What are the rest of you using?  Can you beat my color combination for
ease of viewing?
