Hi. |
| 2 |
I have some strange problem with X fonts (not freetype). I installed |
| 3 |
xmonad, dzen2 and dmenu and configured the last two to use font |
| 4 |
-xos4-terminus-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 (but I have this |
| 5 |
problem in other fonts too) because I need the unicode for correct |
| 6 |
display of russian letters (i have ru_RU.UTF-8 locale, so koi8-r is |
| 7 |
not my option). But russian text looks very strange. The text from |
| 8 |
xmonad (for example, window captions) contains one symbol per one |
| 9 |
russian letter, but it is not correct - something like 0?8A0BL ?8AL<> |
| 10 |
. In the text in dmenu (or in dzen2 when I pipe output from echo to it |
| 11 |
on the console) the letters are not displayed as hieroglyphs or |
| 12 |
strange symbols; each letter consists of an ' (apostrophe sign) and |
| 13 |
one symbol from ASCII table from Q up to q (33 chars totally). I have |
| 14 |
found no correspondence between UTF-8 bytes and these pairs (but the |
| 15 |
first byte in russian letters is also the same). The same |
| 16 |
configuration of xmonad and dzen2 on my other machine (ubuntu) works |
| 17 |
perfectly, and the text in xterm and emacs also looks very well. What |
| 18 |
can this be? |

Sorry for my bad language if it is such :) |
