That makes sense now. This lists' mail goes to my inbox, it's only filtered to my gentoo-user directory after I've read it.

So, nobody knows what can this be? I even tried to recompile dmenu with Xutf8* functions instead of Xmb*, and this didn't help.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: X bitmap fonts and UTF-8
Here are mine: Installed versions: 4.28(23:40:35 09.10.2009)(X pcf psf ru-dv ru-g ru-i -a-like-o -bolddiag -quote -raw-font-data -ru-k -width) But I think USE-flags aren't connected with this strange behaviour. I already said, that russian letters are not displayed in every font, including misc-fixed, for example. I also tried original (from official site) fonts, but the result was the same. Definitely fonts are not the reason.

If that font is part of the terminus-font package, there are quite a few USE flags that may be important for you: #equery u terminus-font [ Searching for packages matching terminus-font... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [: Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for media-fonts/terminus-font-4.28 ] U I + + X : Adds support for X11 - - a-like-o : Changes view of letter 'a' - a looks like o (see homepage) - - bolddiag : Boldified diagonal parts of '4', 'k', 'x' and some other chars - + pcf : Intall Portable Compiled Font (PCF) (required for X11) - + psf : Install PC Screen Font (PSF) with unicode data (for linux console) - - quote : Changes view of quotes: symmetric ` and ' instead of asymmetric one (see homepage) - - raw-font-data : Install RAW font data which should be compatible with most UNIX systems (you don't need this on linux) - - ru-dv : Changes view of Russian letters 'de' and 've' (see homepage) - + ru-g : Changes view of Russian letter 'ge' (see homepage) - - ru-i : Changes view of Russian letter 'i' - not like Latin u, but like "mirrored" N (see homepage) - - ru-k : Changes view of Russian letter 'k' (see homepage) - - width : Wider versions of some font elements
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: X bitmap fonts and UTF-8
Yes, of course. There are unicode and utf8 in make.conf and UNICODE="yes" in rc.conf. 2009/10/14 walt : > On 10/14/2009 07:00 AM, DPX-Infinity wrote: >> Hi. >> I have some strange problem with X fonts (not freetype).

Do you have the 'unicode' USE flag set? I think it may be on by default, but I'm not sure.
