Bug#447084: fluxbox: fails to correctly display UTF-8 window titles
It's oddly enough. As for me, everything works fine with your configs. And I managed to reproduce your problems only with the old package xfonts-artwiz. I think it is the very reason of the problems. I permanently work with Russian codings, and Russian codings were the main reason for me to maintain fluxbox. Probably there are problems in some other package in Your system, and it prevents the correct representation of the fonts. Try to install for example icewm and reproduce this bug in it.

Be not afraid to install it from unstable. All of dependences already a long ago got in testing. I may try but... I managed to reproduce the bug with root-tail: $ root-tail -g 538x320+8+420 \ -font '-*-terminus-*-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*' foobar (where foobar is a UTF-8 encoded text file containing cyrillic letters and Unicode arrows) produces a mess of odd symbols in place of non-latin1 characters. Substituting fixed for terminus shows the first four arrows, but not the other ones, and displays horribly-shaped cyrillic letters. Substituting clean for terminus produces a mess similar to the terminus one. This finding surprised me a bit. I began to think that the problem could lie in some lower level layer. I took a look at fluxbox and root-tail dependencies: the only one in common seems to be libx11-6. Consequently I searched for bug reports filed against libx11-6 and I found #364014, which describes a problem that looks very similar to the one I am experiencing. You said that you are not experiencing the issue I reported. libx11-6 has currently the same version in testing and unstable (2:1.0.3-7): are you using a version of libx11-6 from experimental, by chance? Do you think that this bug is a duplicate of #364014, and should be reassigned to libx11 and merged with #364014 ? -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .

FP Unfortunately, I am not able to understand the rest of your message in a FP reasonable time-frame (I should resume my Russian language notes and a FP good dictionary, in order to translate it: it would take too long, FP because my knowledge is too limited... sorry).

Definitely: and it's working, since I can change font by editing ~/.fluxbox/overlay . I did some tests with other fonts. Moving ~/.fluxbox/overlay away makes Fluxbox choose a horribly inappropriate font, and with the same issue in handling UTF-8 characters (I re-performed the PROMPT test, see my original bug report for details). Setting $ cat .fluxbox/overlay background: none *font: -*-fixed-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* makes the Meta style look not really good, and doesn't completely solve the issue with UTF-8 characters, even though something changes. In detail: * the PROMPT test again produces a mess of odd symbols (but please note that I am able to correctly see the same Russian word with the same font in xfontsel!) * the arrow web page test correctly shows the first four arrows, but not the remaining eleven (but please note that I am able to correctly see the first six arrows with the same font in xfontsel!) * the Russian web page test shows cyrillic letters, but in horrible shape (as if they were shown in poor man's bold; again please note that I am able to correctly see the same Russian words with the same font in xfontsel!) If I set: $ cat .fluxbox/overlay background: none *font: -*-clean-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* the results I get are basically identical to those described in the original bug report for the terminus font: each of the three tests fails to correctly show UTF-8 characters in window titles, even if the font is capable of representing cyrillic letters and (at least some of the) arrows.

Bug#447084: fluxbox: fails to correctly display UTF-8 window titles
Package: fluxbox Version: 1.0~rc3-5 Severity: normal Hi! Firstoff, thanks for maintaining my favorite window manager package! I'm having a problem with UTF-8 in fluxbox. I'm using the Meta style with some customizations: $ grep session\.style ~/.fluxbox/init session.styleFile: /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/Meta session.styleOverlay: ~/.fluxbox/overlay $ cat ~/.fluxbox/overlay background: none *font: -*-terminus-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* Selecting the above font inside $ xfontsel -sampleUCS технологии confirms that it is indeed capable of displaying non-latin1 (specifically cyrillic) characters. Nonetheless, as soon as I try to have non-latin1 characters in a window title, I fail to see them properly displayed. For instance: setting $ PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne \033]0; технологии \007' results in a mess of odd symbols in the UXTerm window title. Please note that I have no problems in displaying cyrillic UTF-8 characters in the UXTerm window, no matter if I'm running Bash, ViM, less, ... Another test is the following one, based on the Galeon web browser: $ galeon http://home.arcor.de/plsdontreply/arrowstitle.html Here I correctly see the 15 arrows in the page title, as long as I look at the browser tab title. But the window title looks like + , * - !j U X V Y W which doesn't really make sense to me. $ galeon http://xhtml.ru/2007/09/06/no-iframe-use-object/ I see cyrillic characters correctly displayed inside the page and in its title, as long as I look at the browser tab title. But the window title shows an odd sequence of characters beginning with XHTML Strict - 'U'`'\'e'^'V'_'d 'S 'U'`'\'e' and so forth... I searched the web, and I found http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Make_your_system_use_unicode/utf-8#Fluxbox http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-362901.html#3023021 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fluxbox#Enabling_unicode_support which however did not help at all...
