I may try but... I managed to reproduce the bug with root-tail:
$ root-tail -g 538x320+8+420 \
-font '-*-terminus-*-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*' foobar
(where foobar is a UTF-8 encoded text file containing cyrillic letters
and Unicode arrows) produces a mess of odd symbols in place of
non-latin1 characters.
Substituting "fixed" for "terminus" shows the first four arrows, but
not the other ones, and displays horribly-shaped cyrillic letters.
Substituting "clean" for "terminus" produces a mess similar to the
terminus one.
This finding surprised me a bit.
I began to think that the problem could lie in some lower level layer.
I took a look at fluxbox and root-tail dependencies: the only one
in common seems to be libx11-6. Consequently I searched for bug
reports filed against libx11-6 and I found #364014, which describes
a problem that looks very similar to the one I am experiencing.
You said that you are not experiencing the issue I reported.
libx11-6 has currently the same version in testing and unstable
(2:1.0.3-7): are you using a version of libx11-6 from experimental,
by chance?
Do you think that this bug is a duplicate of #364014, and should be
reassigned to libx11 and merged with #364014 ?
