Hi.
I have some strange problem with X fonts (not freetype). I installed
xmonad, dzen2 and dmenu and configured the last two to use font
-xos4-terminus-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 (but I have this
problem in other fonts too) because I need the unicode for correct
display of russian letters (i have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale, so koi8-r is
not my option). But russian text looks very strange. The text from
xmonad (for example, window captions) contains one symbol per one
russian letter, but it is not correct - something like 0?8A0BL ?8AL<>
. In the text in dmenu (or in dzen2 when I pipe output from echo to it
on the console) the letters are not displayed as hieroglyphs or
strange symbols; each letter consists of an ' (apostrophe sign) and
one symbol from ASCII table from Q up to q (33 chars totally). I have
found no correspondence between UTF-8 bytes and these pairs (but the
first byte in russian letters is also the same). The same
configuration of xmonad and dzen2 on my other machine (ubuntu) works
perfectly, and the text in xterm and emacs also looks very well. What
can this be?
Sorry for my bad language if it is such :)
