Hi,
I'm trying to get Japanese text to display on the title bars and menus in fvwm.
I tried all these (Individually, I mean) in my .fvwm2rc file: Style * Font "xft:Bitstream Cyberbit" Style * Font "xft:Bitstream Cyberbit:encoding=iso10646-1" Style * Font "xft:Luxi Mono:Medium:Roman:size=14:encoding=iso8859-1"
I also tried with EUC-JP as encoding: Style * Font "xft:Kochi Mincho" Style * Font "xft:Kochi Mincho:encoding=EUC-JP"
And various such combinations. But the text does not appear; instead I see only dots (2 for every japanese character), or I see nothing at all.
I also tried running fvwm with the LANG variable set to "ja_JP", "ja_JP.eucJP", and so on. The only change when I do this is that the fonts look 'different', but the actual Japanese text still doesn't display - either I see dots or some garbage in their place.
I think I'm missing something basic here...? Does anyone have pointers to how this is usually done?
My fvwm version is 2.5.12:
fvwm 2.5.12 compiled on Oct 6 2004 at 14:48:09
with support for: ReadLine, RPlay, Stroke, XPM, PNG, Shape, XShm, SM, Bidi text, Xinerama, XRender, XFT, NLS
(I see Bidi text, XFT... is there anything else needed?) This is the version from Debian Unstable, if anyone's using it... My XFree86 version is 4.3.0.1.
Thanks, Faiz
