I looked into this again. The "ja-mplus-ttf" we have in packages is
misnamed, as it's not mplus, but a combination of mplus and another font
called IPA; "ja-mplus-ttf" is really called "mix-mplus-ipa" in most
places, including by upstream themselves.

Calling *this* font "mplus" is appropriate, since it is in fact the
mplus font.

Anyway, I've been using this as my xterm double-width font for several
months and it's very nice. Here's an updated port. ok?

Frantisek, are you still interested in maintaining this?
