Bug#364014: libx11-6: UTF-8 incorrectly displayed in ion window title
Package: libx11-6
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
I thrashed this out with ion's author, who, when I asked what bug I
should file, said:
"Something about Xmb drawing routines routines substituting high
characters for two ascii characters in utf-8 locale with some fonts."
For the record, it doesn't seem to matter which font I use, but in ion
window titles, the (TM) character is drawn as "b, (quote-b), which
happen to be the third and first characters for UTF-8 (TM)
respectively, when you AND them with 0x7f. (The second character anded
with 0x7f is 4).
In this csae I was using Skype, which was trying to display
"Skype(TM)". I checked that its atoms had the right type
(COMPOUND_TEXT for WM_NAME and WM_ICON_NAME).
