           Summary: Multibyte character cannot be displayed in icewm menu
           Product: icewm-light
           Version: 1.2.9-2mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: i18n
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


My OS: Mandrake Linux 9.2 (FiveStar) on an i586 PC
icewm version: icewm-1.2.13-0.3.1mdk.i586, icewm-light-1.2.13-0.3.1mdk.i586
locale: zh_CN

Chinese characters cannot be displayed in icewm starting menu as well as right
click pop-up menu. The problem may be due to font loading. I've tried to
"startx" manually and step by step from the text console:
# X & (Enter. Everything is OK.)
# export DISPLAY=0:0 (Enter. Everything is OK.)
# /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm-session (Enter. Something wrong but not fatal.)
While loading icewm, it gives lots of messages as the following:
...
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".
IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-*--16-*".

RPMS shipped in Mandrake Linux 9.0 (icewm-1.2.0-5mdk, icewm-light-1.2.0-5mdk)
work well in FiveStar. RPMS shipped in Mandrake Linux 9.1 (icewm-1.2.6-1mdk,
icewm-light-1.2.6-1mdk) may also work but modifications to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/preferences are needed.
