Hi,

I use this settings for font in ~/.config/i3/config:
font -wenquanyi-wenquanyi bitmap song-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-p-0-iso10646-1

There is a snapshot, I grabbed some random Japanese text and made a
directory, then cd into it to display the text in the window title:
http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/61260048gw1dt28l6s221j.jpg

The font should be installed from one of these packages, but I don't
know exactly which, because I installed all of them:
xfonts-intl-chinese-big - International fonts for X -- Chinese big
xfonts-intl-chinese - International fonts for X -- Chinese
ttf-wqy-microhei - A droid derived Sans-Seri style CJK font
ttf-wqy-zenhei - "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" A Hei-Ti Style (sans-serif) Chinese font
xfonts-wqy - WenQuanYi Bitmap Song CJK font for X

By the way, the font setting for urxvt is as follows:
URxvt.font:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,-wenquanyi-wenquanyi
bitmap song-medium-r-normal--13-130-75-75-p-80-iso10646-1

I think the "fixed" typeface may not have non-latin glyphs?

Regards,
Xia.

Hi Michael,

Somehow I lost this message here. Sorry for the late reply.

I just wondered that, because if the ISO10646, both Chinese or Japanese (or
any other language character for that matter) could be properly rendered,
the same way the browser is capable of doing it.

It actually does not bother me that much, but it would be nice to solve
this, which increases odds for more international adoption.

What would be your suggestion to handle this? Any ideas?

Regards,

Hi Bruno,

Excerpts from BRAGA, Bruno's message of 2012-04-11 16:53:11 +0200:
# font for window titles. ISO 10646 = Unicode
font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
Do you guys know what could I be missing?
Probably the font does not include these Japanese glyphs?

Best regards,
Michael
