At one time in Bourne shell and derivatives

LANG=C twm &

may have worked but because of all the other LC variables which are now
setup and which are not overriden by setting LANG=C, the work around for
the bug in twm being unable to open the fixed font for UTF-8 and other
encodings is to specify

LC_ALL=C twm &

You may even find that

LC_ALL=en twm &

where "en" is "English" also works (along with other two letter language
variants) but anything more specific cauting UTF-8 enocding to be
invoked such as en_GB or en_US will give the same error as "unable to
open fontset fixed".
