Hello All.

I've recently upgraded to 2.5.16 and noticed a new FvwmTabs module. I
tried using it to encapsulate my Midnight Commander windows, and it
works really well so far.

However, I do have a problem:

FvwmTabs seems to use a weird format to describe the fonts to use:
smth like "Helvetica -12 bold", for instance. How do I specify the
encoding here?

My locale is based on cp1251 (for Russian/Belarusian), and I get
garbage in tabs' titles when I cd with MC into a folder that contains
Cyrillic chars in its name... =\

Can anyone provide me with an example or point to a spec of this font
definition format?

Also, I have a couple of suggestions, take it or leave it =)

1. would be nice if the tabs' height were configurable in the config
file. 28 pixels is way too much for me, so I set it right in the
module file itself.

2. It would be great if the module could accept the geometry spec at
its start, maybe with a tabber ID, smth like so:

AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmTabs -g $[my_geometry] $[tabber ID]/unique name

3. where is that "tab" command I read about on the FvwmTabs website?
so far zsh responds that "tab command is not found".

Still, FvwmTabs is a nice and useful module, so thanks for the great
job and keep going =)
