I did some testing and I think I now understand what's happening here. Apparantly there are no Kana/Kanji/Hangul in the font I used (-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1), only half-width Kana (wich are used by WMII as replacement for the full ones). Xterm automatically takes the necessary double-width glyphs from -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1 if in UTF-8 mode. WMII seems not to do this. I also tried the unicode version of Microsoft's Arial, wich covers most asian scripts, and it worked. Is it possible to tell WMII to switch to the double-width fixed font if needed? Or do I have to try to make a new font out of the two fixed?

 Hey guys,
  I still don't know what the problem is here, but I've heard that it
can be caused by some X locale funkiness. Apparently using this
version can help:

 Oh hm, but you have japanese rendered, so maybe it's something
different. Tobias, you said "the same font" works in a terminal, how
do you know this? What terminal, what font?

Yeah...this is unfortunately still around... As a fellow user of foreign
languages with WMII, I'm going to guess the problem you're refering to
is this:
