This really isn't something I think fvwm should do, as fvwm doesn't really know if characters are in a user's fonts or not, this is all done via libxft and fallback fonts. > The issue can be reproduced with > > xmessage -geometry 400x100 -title "$(printf "\u200E ABC")" Test This works fine on my system because I have fallback fonts with the correct characters. You should consider using xft fonts and letting them fallback to fonts that have the desired unicode characters to avoid the issue. Also, I would also suggest considering migrating to fvwm3, fvwm (version 2) is no longer developed and no new features will be added. xmessage -geometry 400x100 -title "$(printf "\u200E ABC")" Test jaimos
