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... What's wrong? What did I fail to understand?!?
