I think both bash and zsh, which I use, do it by default. There are some escape sequences to control this behaviour. > I have had a report previously by someone adding stuff to bashrc to > make it so - have you something similar installed to your bashrc? I use zsh, and my .zshrc, mostly generated, does this for me. However, I used roxterm before and never had this problem. > See the previous Sakura bug: > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821783 > > and > http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html Thank you!

Hmmm - see above. Feel free to suggest something, regarding escape sequences. I'm happy to test them. Cheers, --Toni++

I have had a report previously by someone adding stuff to bashrc to make it so - have you something similar installed to your bashrc? See the previous Sakura bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821783 and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html As Sakura does set UTF-8 names correctly on both Window title and tab title for me, I am guessing that you are using some xterm escape sequences in a faulty way. -- Andreas Rönnquist gus...@debian.org

But I don't know which fonts are involved. OTOH, I have about every font package installed that is available in Debian, and if I 'ls' to show the directory, it just works. I also didn't tune anything that I am aware of. I just made a test by going into a directory which has an all-Chinese name. The tab title bar stops at the last directory with all-Latin characters, and only displays a trailing slash. If I go into that other directory with a mixed name, I get the question marks. I then made another test and created a directory with a different mixed name, but the same Chinese characters. Then I cd'ed into it, and the window title changed to only display the latin part of the directory name. To me, it seems that the display of Chinese characters is sort of "unstable". FWIW, the Chinese chaacters in question are 老歌。 Cheers, --Toni++

Can you make sure that the font you are using (Both the font for the window title, and for the tab title, it might not be the same) supports the Chinese characters you want it to show? -- Andreas Rönnquist gus...@debian.org

Package: sakura Version: 3.3.4-3 Severity: normal Hi, I just discovered that Sakura apparently cannot handle UTF-8 window titles. Please see the attached screenshot, which shows two carets with question marks, where I would like to see two Chinese characters. Thank you!
