Sorry, I've been cut off from computers for some time. Scott, I figured it out. In my tabs config I had a XLFD font description with the encoding string. Either the XLFD definition didn't work, or the encoding part, anyway, like I said, it looked like the first screenshot in attachment. I'm guessing that because my definition of the font didn't work, FvwmTabs used the first font with matching size it found for the Latin part of the path, and since the Latin font apparently didn't contain Cyrillic glyphs, it then searched for another font with cp1251 to display the Cyrillic part correctly. That's why I got my path displayed in two different fonts in a tab button. Once I specified the font in the "Terminus -14 bold" format, it now works great, thanks a lot :) See screenshot number two. >> Maybe you hardcoded some font for Cyrillic somewhere? > No, all I've done is remove the font encoding from strings when I > query X server properties.
