Kinput2 is an input server for X Window System applications that
require Japanese text input.
Kterm is a multilingual terminal emulator based on xterm. The major
ways kterm differs from xterm are that it can handle multilingual text
encoded in ISO2022, can display colored text, and has the status line
function. To input multilingual text, both the X Input Method (XIM)
protocol and kinput2 protocol can be used.
Hangul input library used by scim-hangul
Library for handling OpenType fonts,especially those needed for CJK and other non-Latin
languages.
LibStroke is a stroke interface library. Strokes are motions of the
mouse that can be interpreted by a program as a command. Strokes are
used extensively in CAD programs.
Mined is a powerful text editor with a comprehensive and easy-to-use
user interface and fast, small-footprint behavior.
It was the first editor that provided Unicode support in a plain-text
terminal. It now has both extensive Unicode and CJK support offering
many specific features and covering special cases that other editors
are not aware of (like autodetection features and automatic handling of
terminal variations or Han character information). Basically, it is an
editor tailored to efficient editing of plain text documents and
programs with features and interactive behavior designed for this
purpose.
Mined Overview
Good interactive features * Intuitive user interface
* Logical and consistent concept of navigating and editing text
(without ancient line-end handling limitations or insert or
append confusion)
* Supports various control styles: Editing with command control,
function key control, or menu control Navigation by cursor keys,
control keys, mouse or scrollbar
* Comprehensive menus (driven by keyboard or mouse)
* "HOP" key paradigm doubles the number of navigation functions that
can be most easily reached and remembered by intuitively
amplifying the associated function
* Immediate adjustment if the window size is changed in any state of
interaction
Versatile character encoding support * Extensive Unicode support,
including double-width and combining characters, script
highlighting, various methods of character input support (mapped
keyboard input methods, mnemonic and numeric input), supporting
CJK, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Arabic, and other scripts
* Support of bidirectional terminals, Arabic ligature joining
* East Asian character set support: handling of major CJK encodings
(including GB18030 and full EUC-JP with combining characters) in
either Unicode terminal or CJK terminal
* Support for a variety of 8-bit encodings (mapped to Unicode) (with
combining characters for Vietnamese and Thai)
* Support of CJK input methods by enhanced keyboard mapping
including multiple choice mappings (handled by a pick list menu);
characters in the pick list being sorted by relevance of Unicode
ranges
* Han character information with description and pronunciation
* Autodetection of text character encoding, edit of files with mixed
character encoding sections (such as mailboxes), transparent
handling of UTF-16 encoded files
* Autodetection of UTF-8 and CJK terminal mode and detailed features
(like different Unicode width and combining data versions)
* Encoding support tested with: xterm, mlterm, hanterm, cxterm,
rxvt, linux console
Many useful text editing capabilities * Many text editing features,
such as paragraph wrapping, autoindentation and back-tab, smart
quotes (with quotation marks style selection and autodetection),
and smart dashes
* Search and replacement patterns can have multiple lines
* Cross-session paste buffer (copy and paste between multiple--even
subsequent or remote--invocations of mined)
* Marker stack for quick return to previous text positions
* Multiple paste buffers (emacs-style)
* Program editing features, HTML support and syntax highlighting,
identifier and function definition search, also across files;
structure input support
* Text and program layout features; autoindentation and undent
function (back-tab), numbered item justification
* Systematic text and file handling safety, avoiding loss of data
* Visible indications of special text contents (TAB characters,
different line-end types, character codes that cannot be
displayed in the current mode)
* Full binary transparent editing with visible indications (illegal
UTF-8 or CJK, mixed line end types, NUL characters, etc.)
* Print function that works in all text encodings
* Optional emacs command mode
Small-footprint operation and portability * Plain text mode
(terminal) operation, supporting wide range of terminals
* Instant start-up
* Runs on many platforms: Unix (Linux/Sun/HP/BSD/Mac and more), DOS
(djgpp), Windows (cygwin)
* Makefiles also support legacy systems
Convert plain hangul text into postscript form. By Choi Jun Ho, the

Nkf is a yet another Kanji code converter among networks, hosts, and
terminals. It converts input Kanji code to designated Kanji code, such
as 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS) or EUC.
One of the most unique facility of nkf is the guess of the input kanji
code. It currently recognizes 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS), and
EUC. So users do not need the input Kanji code specification.
By default, X0201 kana is converted into X0208 kana. For X0201 kana,
SO/SI, SSO and ESC-(-I methods are supported. For automatic code
detection, nkf assumes no X0201 kana in MS-Kanji. To accept X0201 in
MS-Kanji, use -X, -x, or -S.
The 'Open Type Organizer' project provides programs to list and modify
tables in OpenType font files, specifically, their 'name' and 'cmap'
tables. It can be used to translate 'name' and 'cmap' of OpenType font
in locale encodings to Unicode encoding so the font file can be used in
an environment which does not understand locale encodings. The
translated tables are added to the font while keeping the original
tables intact.
Do you have a True Type font which does not work with Xft (e.g. with
KDE and Antialiasing)? Chances are, the font doesn't have a Unicode
'cmap'! Open Type Organizer (oTo) will help to solve the problem. It
will add Unicode 'name' and Unicode 'cmap' tables by translating the
original ones. Your favorite ttf font can really work for you now.
Full screen editor with an Emacs look and feel with all Emacs common
features: multi-buffer, multi-window, command mode, universal argument,
keyboard macros, config file with C like syntax, minibuffer with
completion and history.
Full UTF8 support, including bidirectional editing respecting the
Unicode bidi algorithm. Arabic and Indic scripts handling (in
progress).
WYSIWYG HTML/XML/CSS2 mode graphical editing. Also supports lynx like
rendering on VT100 terminals.
WYSIWYG DocBook mode based on XML/CSS2 renderer.
C mode: coloring with immediate update. Emacs like auto-indent.
Shell mode: colorized VT100 emulation so that your shell work exactly
as you expect. Compile mode with next/prev error.
Input methods for most languages, including Chinese (input methods come
from the Yudit editor).
Hexadecimal editing mode with insertion and block commands. Unicode
hexa editing of UTF8 files also supported.
X11 support. Support multiple proportional fonts at the same time (as
XEmacs). X Input methods supported. Xft extension supported for anti
aliased font display.
rfbplaymacro replays VNC macros as created by rfbproxy to a VNC server.
