Ah, then unifont-dvdeug-1 does work with xterm, with the install
instructions producing two fonts. It's just the styles (f, h)
encourage most programs to load the fullwidth verson instead of the
halfwidth version. (Interesting that we have fullwidth/halfwidth,
versus doublewidth/singlewidth, usually depending on the typographical
tradition of the speaker.)
unifont-dvdeug-1 is not a huge step over Roman's last version, but
it does include several patches that Roman's doesn't, including
Cherokee and a bunch of characters new with Unicode 3.0. No great
strides in the CJK arena, though.
See http://dvdeug.dhis.org/unifont.html - if I'm playing WarCraft
at the time, you can get the font itself at
