Jishyo
Jishyo is an English -> Japanese dictionary. Currently it only supports English queries. In the future I hope to add support for kana and kanji queries, as well as multi-radical lookups for kanji. Jishyo is based in large part on code from Jim Breen's xjdic. It also uses the dictionary data from the same software.
Features
- 'exact', 'similar', and 'related' queries, that return successively greater number of results.
- localized for Thai and Japanese
Dependencies
- a recent version of gnustep-core (http://www.gnustep.org/)
- a Japanese font.
With current versions of GNUstep, your default system font will need to support Japanese characters. Alternatively, you could try Alexander Malmberg's font substitution patch at:

A short explanation for using the patch can be found at:

Install
make install (as root)

Patches, complaints, feedback, and suggestions are welcome. Please send to rburns@softhome.net. I'm especially partial to localizations. Localizations for Jishyo can be done entirely from the Localizable.strings file.
