Introduction

  I have tried the muntilingualization of w3m (w3m-m17n).
  The patch for w3m-0.4.1 is available on the following site.

    http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~hsaka/w3m/index.html#m17n
                                          patch/w3m-0.4.1-m17n-20030308.tar.gz
                                          patch/README.m17n

  It is a development version. And enough test is not preformed because
  I can understand Japanese only. Please use, test, and report bugs.

  Now, w3m-m17n has following functions.

Supported encoding schemes (character set)

  * Japanese
      EUC-JP           - US_ASCII, JIS X 0208, JIS X 0201, JIS X 0212

      UTF-8, UTF-7

  NOTE:
    * The left part of JIS X 0201 and GB 1988 (Chinese ASCII) are
      treated as US_ASCII because they are used in tags of HTML document.
      Another variant of US_ASCII is treated without change.
    * JIS C 6226(old JIS) is treated as JIS X 0208.
    * The sequence '~\n' of HZ is not supported.

Display

  There are two method for multilingual diplay.

  (1) kterm + ISO-2022-JP/CN/KR

    * kterm can handle JIS X 0213, CNS 11643, if the following patch
      is applied.
        http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~hanataka/kterm-6.2.0.ext02.patch.gz

    * Specify the fontList for kterm with -fl option or in ~/.Xdefaults.
    
        -fl "*--16-*-jisx0213.2000-*,\
             *--16-*-jisx0212.1990-0,\
             *--16-*-ksc5601.1987-0,\
             *--16-*-gb2312.1980-0,\
             *--16-*-cns11643.1992-*,\
             *--16-*-iso8859-*"

      Fonts of JIS X 0213 exist in
        http://www.mars.sphere.ne.jp/imamura/jisx0213.html

    * Set the "display_charset" to ISO-2022-JP(or ISO-2022-JP-2, KR, CN),
      and "strict_iso2022" to OFF on the option pannel. (see below)

  (2) xterm + UTF-8

    * Use xterm (xterm-140 or later) of XFree86.
        http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/xterm/xterm.html

    * Fonts of Unicode exist in
        http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html
        http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/index.html.en

    * Use xterm with -u8 option.
      The fonts are specified such as
        -fn "*-medium-*--13-*-iso10646-1" \
        -fb "*-bold-*--13-*-iso10646-1" \
        -fw "*-medium-*-ja-13-*-iso10646-1"

    * Set the "display_charset" to UTF-8.
      And, it is better that "pre_conv" is ON.

  (3) mlterm + ISO-2022-JP/KR/CN

    * Homepage
        http://mlterm.sourceforge.net/

    * Set encoding of mlterm to ISO-2022-JP/KR/CN or UTF-8.

    * Set the "display_charset" to ISO-2022-JP/KR/CN or UTF-8.

  Other conversions are based on Unicode.

Change document charset

   Press '=' (show document infomation), and select document charaset.

   If you specify the following keymaps,
     keymap C CHARSET
     keymap M-c DEFAULT_CHARSET
   you can press `C' to change the current document charset,
   and `M-c' to change the default document charset.

Line Editing 

  Input coding system is followed by display coding system.

  NOTE:
    * HZ can not be used as input coding system.
    * Input with ISO-2022-CN or ISO-2022-KR is perhaps failure, because
      SI(\017) and SO(\016) are already assigned as other command key.
      (SO is assigned as `next-history'). If you want to use SI and SO,
      press C-@(^@). After that, SI, SO, SS2, SS3, LS2, and LS3 of
      7bit ISO-2022 are recognited. When you press C-@ again, the default
      binding is set.

Regular expression

   Multilingual regular expression is supported.
