Well, actually, this bug is *not* in the xfonts-artwiz package, since I haven't installed it and I am not using the glisp font. As I said in the bug report, I customize the Meta style on the fly, by using the following overlay file: $ cat ~/.fluxbox/overlay background: none *font: -*-terminus-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* As a consequence, the font I am using is the above described terminus one. Moreover, as I stated in the bug report, the terminus font seems to be able to correctly represent cyrillic letters. The problem arises as soon as I use this font for window titles in Fluxbox. No UTF-8 (non-latin1) characters seem to be displayed properly. > > If to delete this package, other font and style will be utillized will > correctly show a menu. > Other variant - to copy itself style and to change a font in it. As I said, I already selected (through the overlay file) a font that fits my tastes and is capable of covering UTF-8 characters. The problem seems to be in the way Fluxbox handles UTF-8 strings to be used as window titles...

Since the font is capable of representing cyrillic characters, I don't think that changing font could help... -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
