This message comes at least if you do not have fonts that match the
above complaint. A matching helvetica is in the package xfonts-100dpi
and in xfonts-75dpi, possibly the -transcoded packages should be
installed as well. Otherwise you can edit ~/.gtkrc and put there any
iso-10646-1 encoded font that you do have. I don't know if there are
other situations in which it would complain about all these character
sets. I was getting a similar message but with only the East Asian
character sets recently, and got rid of it by putting this to ~/.gtkrc
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-adobe-times-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1,\
-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

I don't use fvwm2, just tried it now and indeed nothing is displayed in
the menus. Maybe you could make a bug report out of it?
