Hi, Not sure about the details, but if I'm not mistaken this has something to do with font 'subsets' (that's probably not the right word). From what I understand, there are some character subsets defined for utf-8, and a font may support some, but not all of them. I believe xterm just uses whatever the font provides, ignoring what it doesn't provide, while dwm discards the font's abilities entirely if it doesn't support all subsets. wmii worked this way too, but was recently patched to allow 'half utf-8 capable' fonts to work.
Note that I don't really know what I'm talking about here, this is just what I understood from a thread on the wmii mailinglist, I *may* have gotten it completely wrong. Greetings, Sander. On 12/5/06, dmtry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, may be you remember about discussion not long time ago http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.dwm/924 but nobody can't advice, i have the same problem: non ascii characters don'twork in statusbar. locale set correctly, $ locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL= font in config.h also. Same font in xterm work perfect. I can't find solution. Thank you. On 04/12/06, Anselm R.
