> For why this is not an fvwm bug. It is a fvwm bug 1. There is freedesktop.org specification which allows to use non-latin letters in window names. And both fvwm and wish follow it. 2. If xft fonts are used for window names, names are displayed correctly. Problem occurs only with bitmap fonts. But it scalable fonts are in many cases undesirable for such things as windows names. They looks ugly in small sizes. Moreover, in distributed environment client side rendering of fonts consume a lot of bandwidth, compared with traditional X11 fonts. > > From: Victor Wagner <vi...@wagner.pp.ru> > Subject: Window titles are incorrectly displayed if fvwm is running in utf-8 > locale > Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:32:04 +0400 > > Package: fvwm > Version: 1:2.5.26-1 > Severity: normal > > > Although this problem looks simular to bugs #439904 and #452661 I decide > to > file separate bug report, because my investigation shows quite different > results. > > If fvwm2 is started in some 8-bit locale, such as ru_RU.KOI-R, > applications, which follow freedesktop.org specifications (such as > Mozilla and wish) are able to display title bars with cyrillic letters > correctly. > > However, if fvwm2 is started in ru_RU.UTF-8 locale, cyrillic letters in > the window titles are > broken even if application runs in the same locale as fvwm. > > Moreover incorrect titles are same regardless of locale application is > run in. > > Following tcl script demonstrates problem.
