Hi
The cause of the cut-off is as follows:
The cut off happens because dtwm fails to get default font
(that is one from an entry with XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG )
when using compound font sets in UTF-8 locales.
This failure is detected and then the fallback code gets executed
(see patch
https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/code/ci/a26b73a1a64caadf029473342b7d42a7158b7461/
by Frederic Koehler),
which always uses the "fixed" font as default font.
After that the default font is used to calculate heights of window
titles. This usually causes the cut off, because the "fixed" font on
most systems is pretty small.
Note, that the default font is just used to calculate geometry,
the actuals letters are rendered using proper fontList.
This patch enhances the workaround of Frederic:
In the case when XmeRenderTableGetDefaultFont() fails to get font, it
uses XExtentsOfFontSet() to get extents of the entire font set.
I regard this patch just as a temporary workaround, because in the
proper fix, I think, we probably should get rid of usage of
XmeRenderTableGetDefaultFont() and default fonts at all throughout the
program, because titles and messages could be in any language or in mix
of languages, so it's just not right to use one of the fonts to
calculate title height and geometry of messages.
