I do not think that 2.2.x has i18n support. 2.4.x simply uses the X i18n interface (with enable-multibyte). What happen is that XCreateFonSet (an Xlib i18n function) does not load "-*helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" as XLoadQueryFont (a "simple" Xlib function) load a font in this case. In 2.5.x things are more complex. I do not think that we should do someting special in 2.4.x. Reagards, Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
