pkgsrc/x11/mlterm/DESCR
tsutsui c8643a462b Update mlterm to 3.2.0.
In this version, mlterm now supports NetBSD wsfb framebuffer
so NetBSD users can use a multi-lingual terminal without
Xserver on ports that support wsdisplay framebuffer console,
i.e. NetBSD/i386 with VESA framebuffer, NetBSD/dreamcast,
or even NetBSD/luna68k with 1bpp framebuffer.

Special thanks to Araki Ken, an auther of mlterm, for
various efforts and improvements for NetBSD wsfb support,
including dumb 1bpp optimizations on luna68k.
mlterm-fb demonstration movies are available on YouTube:

 - update descriptions per the framebuffer support
 - add a MESSAGE file to mention miscellaneous configurations to use mlterm
 - remove MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no which has been fixed in upstream Makefiles
 - split SUBST rules into ones for Makefiles, man page, and config files
 - install misc README files in doc dirs which are useful after installation
 - add "mlterm-fb" and "ibus" options and make mlterm-fb default
   on supported platforms

mlterm is a Multi Lingual TERMinal emulator for X and
framebuffer console. It supports many character sets,
many encodings, and many other decorative functions.
Since mlterm retains character tables in memory to
convert characters between UCS and other encodings,
it consumes a lot of memory while running, so it's
recommended that you open multiple ptys in one process.
