This is a terminal emulator for X Window System, which supports various encodings including ISO-8859-[1-11,13-16], TCVN5712, VISCII, TIS-620 (same as ISO-8859-11), KOI8-{R,U,T}, CP{1251,1255}, GEORGEAN-PS, EUC-JP, EUC-JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP{,1,2,3}, Shift_JIS, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-KR, EUC-KR, UHC, JOHAB, EUC-CN (aka GB2312), GBK, ISO-2022-CN, Big5, EUC-TW, HZ, UTF-8, and GB18030.

Doublewidth characters for east Asian, combining characters for Thai, Vietnamese, and other diacritics, BiDi (bi-directionality) for Arabic and Hebrew as well as Arabic shaping are all supported. Though mlterm supports Indic complex languages such as Hindi, this Debian package is not compiled with Indic support.

Since mlterm checks the current locale and selects appropriate encoding, you don’t need to configure mlterm to display your language and encoding.

mlterm also supports unique features such as scrollbar API, multiple windows, multiple XIM, anti-alias using FreeType and Xft, and so on.

This tiny version does not support fancy features such as background image and so on, except for i18n-related features.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install mlterm-tiny

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install mlterm-tiny.

sudo apt -y install mlterm-tiny

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install mlterm-tiny
