--- Begin Message ---Package: xfe Version: 1.32.1-6 Severity: normal Hi, Japanese character is not displayed in xfe. # attached file (env_japanese.png) When I set "LANG=C", English is displayed. # attached file (env_LANG-C.png) But xfe has a Japanese po file, and mo file is installed, too. This problem is reproduced only in GUI which started xfe. When I carried out --help with a console, the Japanese is displayed. I do not test it in the other locales. Possibly the same problem may be given in the other locales.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, Joachim. Thanks for your comment and testing! I did not notice that there was a font setting window. When I set a Japanese font, I confirmed that I could display Japanese on menu. I close this bug.
