no, no, this is misunderstanding. screen painting has _nothing_ to do with with latex or utf8x encoding etc. it has something to do the way you have set fonts for your X-windows. i don't know how things are done on debian, but in gentoo only installing dejavu fonts was enough (the reconfiguration of X is part of instalation procedure.)
