After much delay, here is patch #27.

   http://susu.org.uk/~robert/27.diff.gz

   This is against xterm-152.

New Features

  * supports language tags, and language-dependent glyph selection.

    This depends on the font having support for it.  You can get a version 
    of 18x18ja with support for different ja/zh forms of U+76F4 from

    http://susu.org.uk/~robert/18x18ja.bdf.gz

    In terms of efficiency, this isn't so hot, but I'll work on
    optimisation now I've got it working at all.
 
    With respect to supporting opening, say, both the 18x18ja and 18x18ko
    fonts - I'm unhappy about doing it like that but I guess I will do
    that (infact, I'll get onto that soon).
