Jfbterm is a little slow but provides good CJK console on FB screen.
It supports ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, ISO-2022-CN,
CN-GB, ISO-2022-KR, EUC-KR and Wansung if you installed such pcf fonts.
Yes, jfbterm depends xfonts-base package for displaying Japanese
character.
But it really needs only pcf files, so doesn't need xutils or
xfree86-common.
Do you have any good solution?
I thought how about making new 'jfbterm-tiny' package which includes
some pcf fonts, but it may cause dependency and upgrade problems.
There is another CJK console 'kon2', is more compact than jfbterm.
But it can't work correctly on some machines (such as my laptop ATI
Rage128).
