"The character set used is part of the font name, e.g. "-iso8859-1". It is important that applications which support a non-English interface specify the character set correctly so that the proper glyphs are used. This can be controlled through the X resources, which will be described later.

In some cases, applications rely upon the fonts named "fixed" or something like "9x18". In these cases, it is important that the fonts.alias file specifies the correct character set. Users of ISO-8859-X encodings where X != 1 should modify the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias file by replacing the "iso8859-1" string with the proper encoding name. This is accomplished by running the following command as the root user, substituting the proper value for [X]:"

sed -i 's,iso8859-1\( \|$\),iso8859-[X]\1,g' \
   /usr/share/fonts/{75dpi,100dpi,misc}/fonts.alias

What would be the proper values for X

Secondly would this have any relation to fuxbox erroring out with

ThemeItem<Fonts>: Error: cant set default value 'fixed'
