I've prepared a patch for the xterm-like scheme (attached).
i.e. make cursor's fg/bg color be taken from the character under cursor.

When cursor's fg/bg color was specified in your config file or
by a command line option, Those color would be used as they had been.

Though cursor would be remain invisible in a sick situation
(like the "black on black" case), it seems acceptable for me.

Sorry, I couldn't find the better one.

Just curious: what function are you going to add? 
I'm assuming that the knowledge of encoding should not
be neccesary to simply display some strings.
