Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.22-2
Severity: important
How to reproduce :
0. Generate locales en_US.UTF-8 and uk_UA.UTF-8
1. Start icewm with locale en_US.UTF-8
2. Start Mozilla from icewm.
3. In Mozilla, navigate to page with Russian title, like
http://linux.org.ru
4. See big space between "-" and "Linux" in window title bar. (as well
as in taskbar and tooltip for this window)
How it should work :
...
1. Start icewm with locale uk_UA.UTF-8
...
4. See "LINUX.ORG.RU - Русская информация об ОС Linux" in window title
bar. So many letters between "-" and "Linux" ! :>
As seen on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=318923 ,
this behaviour could be caused by Xft/FontConfig deficiency. In
English/Latin locales, it could pick reduced or non-Unicode font for the
given facename. Even in UTF-8 locales that in theory should display all
reasonable UTF-8 characters (like, for this case, Cyrillic ones).
Other software like gvim and Mozilla solve this problem in their own
ways. gvim, as I have been informed, uses pango library. Relying to
Xft/FontConfig alone seems not to be sufficient ...
