		KON	----- Kanji ON Linux console -----

The KON is the program in order to indicate Chinese character on the console picture of the Linux. Display type the DOS/V, the minix-V and the 386BSD KanjiHand (perhaps) is the same, but the point which differs from the minix-V and the KanjiHand is one. With the KON using the false terminal, the hook it does console output, has developed in the VGA. Therefore it is not necessary to apply the patch to the kernel source, but you cannot expect the extended function like the minix-V and the KanjiHand. 

¡ó Function and restriction 

You using the publicfont of the minix-V and 16 dot fonts of the fontx1 as a font file, it increases. The k14.bdf and the like which is used with the X11R5 being something which is made the format of the minix-V, being to do please procure the publicfont from the font package of the minix-V. In case of the fontx1 font inside, it handles with the font structure of the minix-V. 

Following to the fontx1, it corresponded to also the font file of the fontx2. It is the kensyu@rabbit.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp work. 

Using the pty, it outputs, the hook emulates the text screen with the VGA. 

With the obukc@mix, it reached the point where it can utilize even with the J3100sx. 

The JIS/ { we correspond to the EUC|SJIS }. 

The four gland and the back gland it reverses respectively with 8 color colors, attribute indication in underline is possible. 

It is possible to communicate with the client program through the socket. (Under present conditions only font load support) 

It corresponds to the virtual console by utilizing after the kernel version 0.99PL1. 

Cutting & the paste function by the mouse were supported. Mouse cursor is indicated when the mouse is moved. Once being indicated, when cursor blinks 10 times, it goes out. 

It reached the point where from the kernel message to the console can be indicated with the KON. 

The tool of the more and the like increases, becoming 8 bit clean design, but it cannot understand the escape sequence of the JIS. Therefore, when the text of the JIS cord/code the more is done, the letter transforms. 

¡ó Concerning the program and bug 

There is no intention any right of insisting in every part in regard to the source program of the KON as my individual. Simply, being if to like to arrange, you can send improvement such as bug fix to the writer, it is fortunate. 

In addition, using the KON, problem occurring in the hardware, and the other software it cannot take responsibility. 

When there is a bug and opinion et cetera, the male in address below.
