I'm thinking of rewriting the gletters.c to something like gkana.c, 
rather than relying on locale.  That way, a non-speaker can learn kana. 
  I've looked at the code; it looks pretty good and it shouldn't be that 
hard.

The one big question I have, and this may be a stupid question, where do 
the letter images get generated?  This may be obvious to some, but I 
have never done any graphics programming under linux.

OK, I'll see if that can be done as well.
