From the developer's website for the Kdrive Xservers...
Quote
At the time of writing, the KDrive server only has support for a generic Linux keyboard; the keyboard mapping is copied from the Linux kernel tables at startup. As X11 has richer keyboard information than Linux, and furthermore KDrive's mapping tables are incomplete, the results are not always perfect; I have found it necessary to fix my keyboard using xmodmap.


I had originally thought that once installed to hard drive, it was a simple matter of installing the `locales' package.  I was incorrect.  Apparently, xmodmap must be used every time the Xserver is restarted to remap the keyboard.

It appears that the KDrive Xservers support Japanese and Chinese font rendering...

KDrive should be able to support all the font renderers supported by XFree86. You may add any of the following to your host.def file:
#define BuildSpeedo YES
#define BuildType1 YES
#define BuildCID YES
#define BuildFreeType YES
#define FontServerAccess YES

In XFree86 4.3.0 and later, the FreeType backend includes support for all common scalable font formats (including Type 1). For most uses, it is the only one that you will need.

Some of these renderers are rather large; you may want to think twice before including them in your ``tiny'' server.


You may need to recompile the KDrive servers to support the fonts you need.  I've never used KDrive outside of DSL, so I'm not much help.
