Using a unicode font in xterm this way appears to be working well,
provided that you log in through a login manager (gdm, kdm etc.).
Try, for example, this command, which lists all installed fonts:
fc-list
I see Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic, whatever characters displayed
correctly.
Starting xterm with the -fn option does not appear to be working here:
xterm -fn 9x14
since '-fn <font>' is overruled by the presence of ~/.Xresources !
However, it stopped working when I started to log in through the
console.
(To log in through the console, I renamed /etc/rc2.d/S*dm to K*dm, see
Debian Reference 8.1.4.)
~/.Xresources is not being read any more, but now ~/.Xdefaults is !
It is not the only X script that is skipped if you don't use a login
manager. For example, ~/.Xmodmap, if it exists, is also disregarded.
