Dear all,
I recently moved from Debian sarge to Debian etch (which imply xorg as
default X). Now the screen looks orible, with ugly fonts and stuff. I
have the same fonts installed and the same configuration so I don't
know what is wrong. Is this fvwm related or is an X problem? In any
case, any ideas where to look for the problem?
Second, all not ascii caracters from menus dissapeard. How can I bring
it back? Example: "față" shows as "fa", "mărește/micșorează" shows as
"mrete/micoreaz". In the past I had to recompile fvwm to take out
asian stuff in order to get a working version for my systems. Do I
still have to do that? Besides the ascii glyphs I need fvwm do display
U+0102, U+0103, U+00CE, U+00EE, U+00C2, U+00E2, U+0218, U+0219,
U+021A, U+021B, U+201E, U+201C, U+00AB, U+00BB. Those characters are
replaced with two or three question marks in the name of the window
titles and they simply vanish from the menus. All config files are
written in UTF-8.
I try to download the latest version of fvwm (fvwm-2.4.20) to install
it by hand by configure hangs with some errors (X11 libraries or
header files could not be found). Anyone knows what to feed to
"apt-get install" for this to work? (libx11-dev is installed, what
else is missing?) I also try the latest unstable (fvwm-2.5.21).
configure gives the same error.
The current fvwm version is 2.5.18-3, and the old one was 2.5.12-5.
The output of locale is:
bucovina[11:06]:31~> locale

Any help/hint will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ionel
P.S. I use fvwm for 10 years now! :-)
