   1 Simple VNC terminal emulator (inspired by VncCommand)
   2
   3 We try to simulate a 'xterm', because we want to support:
   4
   5         - unicode
   6         - mouse
   7
   8 and xterm seems to be the best solution for that.
   9
  10 some code is inspired by: qemu, VncCommand, xterm, linux kernel, ...

  12 libvncserver
  13 ============
  14
  15 LibVNCServer does not suppurt TLS currently. So we staically link to a
  16 patched versions on that library instead of using the debian shared
  17 libraries.

  19 VNC Java Applet (for use in web based applications):
  20 ====================================================
  21
  22 We use patched VncViewer files (latest TigerVNC sources):

  34    xterm source: ctlseqs.txt

  40 Fonts:
  41
  42 we currently use fonts provided by the debian console-data package:
  43 see /usr/share/consolefonts/*
  44
  45 Only 8x16 fonts are supported
