Hello all,
I've read other recent post here about the same issue but the
original question is not answered there. Not a big problem but
I'd like to know if it's really posible get bitmap fonts
rendering utf-8 characters.
I use en_US.UTF-8 locale. Using scalable fonts (i.e.
xft:sans-10) all utf-8 characters are showed fine. But I
couldn't get it work with bitmap fonts like:
Style * Font -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
I read the man page and tried some stated there. The output of
PrintInfo:

shows three fonts not included by me in any config file. I use
just two, the helvetica above and a fixed (both iso10646-1).
Some clue?
Thanks
