Package: i3-wm
Version: 4.7.2-1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have windows with titles that are not single-byte, but which turn out
as empty boxes in i3. With some other window managers, I can see the
proper titles, and I would like to be able to see them in i3, too.
TIA!
Kind regards,
--Toni++

An empty box most likely means that the font you are using doesn’t
contain the relevant glyph.
See http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#fonts for more details about
configuring fonts. With pango, you can specify multiple fonts for
fallback. Code2000 is a font that contains a lot of the rarer Unicode
glyphs.
In case you have more questions, I recommend our IRC channel.
I’m closing this bug because I’m convinced this is a font configuration
issue.
In case your problem remains and you have verified that the pango (!)
font(s) you are using contain the glyph, please directly open a bug at
http://bugs.i3wm.org/ — not all of our developers check the Debian BTS.
