Hmm - i don't quite understand what you want to say, what are the
"default colours" ?
There is support for colour in pcvt, uudecode and gunzip the file
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/colors.vt.gz.uu and cat it to one of
pcvt's screens on a color display and you'll see .. ;-)
Another story is, that these sequences have not yet been integrated
into the termcap entry.

See above. There is also a escape sequence available to change the colour
assignments at runtime if pcvt was compiled with option PCVT_SETCOLOR,
if you cannot find out the syntax of the sequences enabled by this by looking
at pcvt_out.c, you'll have to ask Bruce Evans - i included it in ancient
times because he requested it :-)

man kcon(1), man keycap(3), man keycap(5).

It does already fully support Latin-1 and DEC MCS, you just have to load
the fonts, see man loadfont(1).
Also have a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc and
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Etc/rc.local on an example of a startup file.
After you are done, uudecode and gunzip the file
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/chardemo.vt.gz.uu and cat it to a pcvt screen
and you'll see what you have!
Hope this helps,
hellmuth
