Description:

UNICON is a CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) Linux console input and display
system. It can support console virtual terminals, GPM mouse, keyboard,
and almost all video devices using the kernel frame buffer. It support
multiple language fonts with a font manager so each virtual console can
display a different font and input method. UNICON also can display IBM table
characters mixed with double byte language encodings.

You should configure /etc/modules.conf to include PATH tag for fonts modules
such as path[chinese]=/lib/modules/2.4/chinese, see modules.conf manual
for help. The fonts kernel modules also work for kernel2.2 without recompile.
