FbTerm 1.3 (Default branch)
FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for Linux that uses the frame buffer. It is mostly as fast as the Linux kernel's terminal when accelerated scrolling is enabled on the frame buffer device. It allows you to select fonts with fontconfig, auto-detect and convert text encoding with support for double width scripts like Chinese and Japanese etc, dynamically create and destroy up to 10 windows, record scroll-back history for every window, and copy/paste selected text between windows with mouse the when the gpm server is running. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This release added command line arguments for changing option values, a client-server based input method framework, screen rotation support, and support for visual type DIRECTCOLOR used by ATI cards. It also fixed a bug where users couldn't input some Unicode characters, a bug where original console state was not restored after FbTerm exited, and several trivial bugs. Image

NAME

       ucimf - unicode console input method framework

DESCRIPTION

       ucimf is an input method framework designed for Linux unicode console.

FEATURE

	o Support UTF-8
	o Support OpenVanilla Modules
	o Support PCF, TrueType Font
	o Provide OverSpot style compose window
	o Provide C/C++ API

BOOT PARAMETERS

       Framebuffer mode is needed.

       You can add "vga=XXX" to LILO, GRUB, or other bootloaders to let the kernel start with proper framebuffer mode automatically.
       vga=785	(640x480, 16 ), vga=788  (800x600, 16 ), vga=791  (1024x768, 16 ), vga=794  (1280x1024, 16 )

USAGE

       ucimf  needs  to run under an UTF-8 consle environment, please use locale -a to see the UTF-8 locales that your system is supported and use
       command like export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 to set up the locale.

       To start ucimf with FbTerm, prefer to install fbterm-ucimf package and run fbterm -i fbterm_ucimf, or see ucimf_start(1) as  an	not-recom-
       mended alternate.

       When  the  user is running an FbTerm, key combination Ctrl+Space is the switch of enable/disable the input method, Ctrl+ShiftLeft to switch
       to next input method, and Ctrl+ShiftRight to switch to next input method framework.
       For jfbterm, F12 is the switch of enable/disable the input method, F11 to switch to next input method, and F10 to next input method  frame-
       work.

       If  the	user  wishes  to  use  Ctrl+Space  and	Ctrl+ShiftLeft under jfbterm, please use ucimf_keyboard, which maps Ctrl+Space to F12, and
       Ctrl+ShiftLeft to F11.

TABLE MANAGEMENT

       ucimf use standard *.cin files directly to manage its input method tables, per-user input method tables is put in
       ~/.openvanilla/OVIMGeneric/.

       Installing or removing a table is simply copy or remove a file in that directory.

       The order of loading table is managed by the name of the table files, for exaple you can name your tables like this:
       01_xxx.cin, 02_xyz.cin, 03_aaa.cin, ...
       ucimf will follow this order while loading input method tables.

SHELL ENVIRONMENT

       LC_CTYPE - use UTF-8 as to recogize characters. For example:
       export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

       OVMODULE_DIR - to customize OpenVanilla modules location at run-time.  For example:
       export OVMODULE_DIR=/usr/lib/openvanilla/
