I use theme metal2. I don't have any explicit fonts metal2 is wrong. Try with the SilverXP theme please (icewm-themes SilverXP was equally wrong. The same behaviour as I described in original letter. package). Also note that many programs are buggy. They either do not recode the window titles to UTF-8, or they break it, eg. double-recode it. Why MozillaKonqueror work well in KWin, then ? I can read UTF-8 Cyrillic in window title bars when a theme with a good font is used which covers the cyrillic parts of Unicode (eg. Verdana). I can't even with SilverXP. However I was able not so long ago. I tried to revert IceWM to 1.2.27/26..., but this did not help. May be the problem is with some underlying library having been upgraded. But unfortunately I don't have an idea what and in what order to revert back. Does SilverXP work for you? IIRC msttcorefonts must be installed so the font is available in fc-cache -l output. Yes, I have msttc.f. installed, among others. And they are listed in fc-list, sure. You can force fonts in .icewm/prefoverride, eg. with TitleFontNameXft=verdana:size=11:bold MenuFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 StatusFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 QuickSwitchFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 NormalButtonFontNameXft=verdana:size=9 ActiveButtonFontNameXft=verdana:size=9:bold NormalTaskBarFontNameXft=verdna:size=10 ActiveTaskBarFontNameXft=verdana:size=9:bold #ToolButtonFontNameXft= #NormalWorkspaceFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 #ActiveWorkspaceFontNameXft= MinimizedWindowFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 ListBoxFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 ToolTipFontNameXft=verdana:size=9 ClockFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 ApmFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 InputFontNameXft=verdana:size=12 LabelFontNameXft=verdana:size=10 This helped. This corrected even metal2. But why should I need this workaround now when I did not need it before ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#392693: icewm: Cyrillic letters in windows title bars: lost again
Package: icewm Version: 1.2.28-1 Severity: normal Don't know exactly if this is due to updated icewm, or updated libraries used by icewm. I use theme metal2. I don't have any explicit fonts specified in system-wide or my own icewm preferences. I see normal Cyrillic in IceWM start menu and in IceWM Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog. As well as in IceWM window menus, and even in IceWM windowlist title bar. But. I have lost sight of Cyrillic letters in other windows titlebars. Specifically, in Mozilla 1.7.13-0.3 browser windows when Cyrillic websites are opened in them. Like http://www.us.debian.org/index.ru.html As well as in Konqueror 3.5.5a-1. In Mozilla, the window title remains unchanged on Cyrillic page load. In Konqueror, I see '?' signs instead of Cyrillic letters. In KDE session with WM kwin 3.5.5a-1, Cyrillic in Mozilla/Konqueror titlebars is visible well. May be now I should check something obscure, and may be you ... I remember I had reported similar defect a year or two ago.
