I think the problem is the PCF file produced by bcftopcf which is
compiled by gcc with option '-O2'. NetBSD/X68k people experienced the
same thing and helped me with the problem. My anon-ftp area carries
bcftopcf binary compiled by 'gcc -O' (not -O2). This bcftopcf binary
is known to produce correct PCF files, whereas the stock bcftopcf in
the MacBSD X package is known to produce incorrect PCF files for
Japanese fonts and possibly Korean and Chinese fonts (not confirmed).
You can ftp k14.bdf and jiskan{16,24}.bdf from ftp.x.org, and convert
them with the bcftopcf from ftp://remus.rutgers.edu/pub/NetBSD/goodies/.
I have working mule 2.2 (yet to be update to 2.3) as well, but because
the disk used for the anon-ftp service has been full for several weeks
(my request to make some room has been effectively ignored )-: I
haven't got to upload anything new, even something not nearly as large
as mule such as a kernel with FPE.
ftp://remus.rutgers.edu/pub/NetBSD/index-j.html is a Japanese document
about the anon-ftp area in HTML format (hasn't been synched with
index.html for a while, but the difference is marginal).
