To make testing easier -- just copy/paste the following line into your terminal and watch the dmenu-bar: wget -q -O - nic.ru | iconv -f windows-1251 -t utf-8 | grep '<title>' | dmenu -fn "-*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1" I tried it on Ubuntu 7.04 and Archlinux. Same result. Thanks & kind regards, Petar
