What do people do about using Japanese on X?  I installed kterm under
X.V11R3 and it outputs Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji (using
contrib/fonts/bdf/oldx11/k14.bdf) but as far as I can tell it doesn't have
any way of inputting either kana or Kanji.  Are there any other tools for
handling Japanese under X, using either Xlib directly or one of the
toolkits?

Is there any standard (or at least commonly accepted) way of doing typing
Japanese on a workstation with an ordinary North American keyboard (e.g. a
Sun)?

Any information on this will be appreciated.
