Special characters (umlauts) are sometimes not displayed correctly in the window title #482

Hi @mrtycho What locale settings are you using? For example:

Hi @ThomasAdam my locale settings are

Hi @mrtycho If you:

Hi @ThomasAdam ok, I added the export to the .xprofile file and after I restarted X11 LC_ALL was set to de_DE.UTF8. Unfortunatly this didn't help. |
I think @MasterP-theGu mentioned this issue some time ago in IRC, too. |
Yes, I did. Funnily enough, it was the Lautstärkeregler, too, that made me realise the problem. Those issues had come up on a RaspberryPi 4 with ArchlinuxARM and - as far as fonts and locales are concerned - standard config. It might be a question of where the text in the window title comes from. As you can see, if it's the name of the programme, the Umlauts don't work, if it's the name of a page opened in Firefox, Umlauts do work. Are there different algorithms involved?
LC_ALL is empty as a standard. Now that I've read this, I'll try my best setting it in my .Xresources. Will come back here with results. EDIT 5 mins later: |
Might be the same as #684 |

Expected Behaviour
Launch a program that has an umlaut in its name, e.g. pavucontrol = Lautstärkeregler (German)
"Lautstärkeregler" is shown in the title of the new window.
Actual Behaviour
Instead of the umlaut "ä" there is a different character shown:
Name and Icon Name are using a wrong character.
Steps to Reproduce
For this bug report I used the default configuration of fvwm3 and I'm using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
Include your configuration with this issue.
=default configuration of fvwm3
Does Fvwm3 crash?
No
Extra Information
I found a kind of a workaround: I did the following changes to the config
Style * Font "xft:Sans:size=8:antialias=True"
Style * IconFont "xft:Sans:Bold:size=8:antialias=True"
Style * TitleFormat %i\n
# Style * !Icon
This results in the following
After this the icon name now looks as expected and so I can use %i as TitleFormat.
In a web browser or file manager that shows a path with umlauts in the title bar, the problem does not initially occur. But after a fvwm restart, the title is also displayed incorrectly. Maybe only the initial window title is affected.
I don't know if this problem also occurs with other special characters and other languages, using ä,ö,ü,ß I run into this problem.
