It has been reported before, that with some special fonts, dwm crashes, but I and nobody on the team has been able to reproduce this. The minimal test case would be to create a simple X-window with a title containing the aforementioned unicode characters. Given the problem is not reproducible on the devs' computers, it might be a long haul until this will be debugged. depending on your skill, do you mind dissecting the font rendering in the dwm-code wrt to the title bars? The line responsible for drawing the window title texts is 735 in dwm.c[0]. With best regards Laslo Hunhold [0]: http://git.suckless.org/dwm/tree/dwm.c#n735 -- Laslo Hunhold <d...@frign.de>
