It works now. Incidentally the original terminus font does not work with ukai font. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3

Does it mean that X will look for glyphs in the following two fonts and stop whenever it will find a font with a necessary glyph? Yes, basically. The manpage for XCreateFontSet provides more details. (I only figured this out yesterday after I already implemented my pango patch.) I hope http://theka.tk/fuckup-1.png gets fixed. Caveat: if any of the patterns doesn't exist on the system, X may just revert to some default. E.g. I tried font[] = -*-terminus-*-*-*- *-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-ukai-*-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-* and I think X completely ignored 'ukai' because I don't have 'terminus' on my system. Filippo, if you're listening: This probably would be good to put in http://www.suckless.org/dwm/ customisation/font.html

Does this patch fix all related font issue for programs run under dwm, or this patch only fix the font issue that appeared in the top statusbar? I hope the font in your statusbar looks okay, at least. :) The patch is to improve the fonts in the statusbar, and isn't supposed to affect fonts in other applications. If it does, then it's probably a bug. By looks ugly do you mean it's rendered with a different font, or that the font is improperly rendered? I've checked with rxvt-unicode and FF2 (Iceweasel), and everything looks fine. If I go to http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/孙燕姿, the statusbar and the FF2 text look fine. I can't run FF3 without upgrading all my libraries. I'll try to check again when I get to my machine running Debian testing. Note: 1) I only cracked open the Pango/Xft manuals yesterday. 2) My LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8 3) Arphic UKai is the only Chinese font I have installed Unfortunately, I can't do much to help you. Firefox doesn't seem to respond to the XFT_DEBUG environment variable, and I still can't figure out why FreeType renders Lucida Console differently on Mac and Linux.

Try using awesome wm: http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/ If that works fine, then maybe I can try to learn from them.
[dwm] dwm + xft
Hello there. It's my first mail on this ML. I wonder if there is any possibility to use xft fonts in dwm. Becouse this patch http://koluthcka.ru/fwm/dwm-4.7-xft.diff doesn't work for me.

Becouse this patch http://koluthcka.ru/fwm/dwm-4.7-xft.diff doesn't work for me. I guess this patch just needs to be upgraded to apply with vanilla dwm-5.2. Otherwise I think it should work fine.
