Fluxbox + Firefox = UTF8 title problem..
Hi, folks!
Yesterday I decided to try out Fluxbox - it's simple, fast and I like it a lot! Anyway, after installing Firefox I've noticed that I'm having problems viewing pages in utf-8, and to be more exact the problem is only when displaying the title which appear as some strange characters.. The problem occurs only when viewing non-english sites, but the strange thing is that they use utf-8 as their encoding and the only problem is as I said when displaying the title. I'm running Gnome2 as well and there is no such a problem, so I think that the problem must be Fluxbox related. Anyone having such a problem? Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

Anyway, the encoding is properly set, but the only thing that does not show right is the title of the page. I've attached a screenshot, note the squares that appear as page title. I don't have much experience with Fluxbox, but I think the problem has something to do with Fluxbox? I've googled around, but didn't find anything..

The strange thing is that I have all the needed fonts already installed.
The pages that these squares appear are cyrillic, but they should appear normal, since they use UTF-8. Don't know what's happening.. No matter which browser I use under Fluxbox these squares appear. Any other WM - GNOME, KDE, etc. displays the title normal.. Is there some additional ports/programs that need to be installed with Fluxbox in order to recognize the fonts? Thanks, for your help scottro!

You should change the window.font: with one providing the necessary glyphs.
DejaVu comes to mind. FYI, an increasing number of applications home pages now have a wiki http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Change_font

Thanks for the link!
Unfortunately, after reading the info at this Wiki, my Fluxbox keeps displaying these squares. I've set session.styleOverlay: ~/.fluxbox/overlay in ~/.fluxbox/init and the following lines to ~/.fluxbox/overlay Code:
menu.title.font: sans-10:bold toolbar.clock.font: sans-10:bold toolbar.workspace.font: sans-10:bold .font: sans-8 Code:
-monotype-arial-*-*-*-*-17-120-*-100-*-*-microsoft-cp1251

Hi, again!
The problem was to easy too solve - just setting LANG=bg_BG.CP1251 solved the problem It seems that the other WM that I've been using set LANG by default, while Fluxbox doesn't.. Anyway, everything is OK now. Thanks everyone!
