In the meantime I've backed out the change that's causing this.
I investigated this issue.
In one of next messages Barry Scott mentioned
" I recall I was seeing code behind XutfTextExtents fail to
return any info without the patch - I think it was Xutf8TextExtents."
Therefore I guess he has problem with Xutf8* ouput functions in non-UTF8
locale. And it is a real issue. These functions don't work without
changes
he proposed. But after such changes Xmb* output functions don't work.
Obviously, there is some difference in the interpretation of XLC_LOCALE
data
between these two families (Xutf8* and Xmb*).
The traditional iso2022 based font system requires that any input string
be separated into portions where all chars belong to one charset.
Corresponded converters cut out such portions from a text, label them with
charset name and pass to the next procedure that finds an appropriate font
for this portion drawing.
XLC_LOCALE file contains 'codeset' and 'fontset' records. The 'codeset'
records
describe rules for distinguishing chars of different charsets and chaset
names
suitable for each type of chars. The 'fontset' records just defines pairs
'charset name' <-> 'font encoding name' that tell what font should be used
for each charset (the string labeled with this chaset name).
What we see in iso8859-15 locale file (and in many other one-byte encoding
locales)?
There are two codeset records
cs0 { sideGL:Default
..
ct_encoding ISO8859-15:GL; ISO8859-1:GL }
cs1 { sideGR:Default
..
ct_encoding ISO8859-15:GR }
and two fontset records
fs0 { charset { nameISO8859-1:GL }
font{ primary ISO8859-15:GL
fs1 { charset { nameISO8859-15:GR }
font{ primary ISO8859-15:GR } }
The second records in both pairs is the simplest case. The codeset record
says
that all 'right side' chars (codes > 127) belongs to the right side of
ISO8859-15 charset and the fontset record says that the text portion
labeled
with 'right side of ISO8859-15 charset' can be drawn with some ISO8859-15
encoded font.
The first fontset record is simple too. It says that 'ISO8859-1 left side'
labeled string can be writen with ISO8859-15 encoded font.
But the first codeset record is more complex. It contains two charset
names
for the same kind of chars ('left side', i.e. codes < 128). And Xutf8* and
Xmb* functions use different names from this pair. (I know why, and can
explain. But here I omit those details.)
Thus if one wants to output simple ASCII string like 'abcd', the 'mb'
converter
labels it as 'ISO8859-1: GL' whereas the 'utf8' converter labels it as
'ISO8859-15:GL'.
And if the fontset record looks like 'charset: ISO8859-1 -> font:
ISO8859-15'
the second step procedure successfuly finds appropriate font for 'mb'
converter
output string but can do nothing for 'utf8' converter output. And after
Barry's
changes we got a reverse situation: the first fontset record became
'charset: ISO8859-15 -> font: ISO8859-15' that means that 'utf8' converter
output has appropriate font but there is nothing useful for the 'mb'
converter
results.
The worst thing is that there is significant difference in these converters
internals and if even we force the 'utf8' converter to choose ISO8859-1
charset we will not get the the behavior similar to 'mb' converters one.
In this case the 'utf8' converter makes the 'right side' chars labeled with
ISO8859-1:GR (execept the Euro sign). But such name also has not
appropriate
chaset->font pair among fontset records.
I would suggest a simple workaround: instead of changing the first fontset
record add a similar one but with another charset name. I.e. the fontset
section of XLC_LOCALE will look like:
fs0 { charset { nameISO8859-1:GL }
font{ primary ISO8859-15:GL }}
fs1 { charset { nameISO8859-15:GR }
font{ primary ISO8859-15:GR }}
fs2 { charset { nameISO8859-15:GL }
font{ primary ISO8859-15:GL }}
In such case the first record would satisfy Xmb* functions and the third
record
would make Xutf8* functions happy.
(Of course, I tested this solution. It works.)
OK. This makes some sense to me. But should something like this be done to
all affected locates?
I meant "locales", not "locates".

Ummm. See if changing line 19 of
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-15/XLC_LOCALE to read ...
nameISO8859-1:GL
... instead of ...
nameISO8859-15:GL
... fixes the problem. Be mindful of tabs.

Re: What happened to the fonts?
I tried tracing twm when it is drawing fonts. I don't really
understand the font paths very well, but it looks like it never
even draws anything. It looks like:
_XomGetFontSetFromCharSet returns NULL so
_XomConvert returns -1 so
_XomGenericDrawString doesn't draw anything
I walked through the loop in _XomGetFontSetFromCharSet.
There are two fontsets (ie. font_set_num = 2). Both have only
one charset. Neither matches the one passed to _XomGetFontSetFromCharSet.
(gdb) p font_set[0]
$62 = {id = 0, charset_count = 1, charset_list = 0x80910d8,
font_data_count = 1, font_data = 0x80916b0,
font_name = 0x8091ea0 "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso88
59-15", info = 0x0, font = 0x80919c0, side = XlcGL, is_xchar2b = 0,
substitute_num = 1, substitute = 0x80916d0, vpart_initialize = 0,
vmap_num = 0, vmap = 0x80916f0, vrotate_num = 1, vrotate = 0x8091700}
(gdb) p font_set[1]
$63 = {id = 1, charset_count = 1, charset_list = 0x80910a8,
font_data_count = 1, font_data = 0x8091720,
font_name = 0x8091edd "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso88
59-15", info = 0x0, font = 0x8091c30, side = XlcGR, is_xchar2b = 0,
substitute_num = 0, substitute = 0x8091740, vpart_initialize = 0,
vmap_num = 0, vmap = 0x8091750, vrotate_num = 0, vrotate = 0x0}
(gdb) p *font_set[0].charset_list
$72 = 0x8084848
(gdb) p *font_set[1].charset_list
$73 = 0x8082698
(gdb) p charset
$64 = 0x8081e80
(gdb) p *charset
$65 = {name = 0x807f238 "ISO8859-1:GL", xrm_name = 1,
encoding_name = 0x807f108 "ISO8859-1", xrm_encoding_name = 2, side = XlcGL,
char_size = 1, set_size = 94, ct_sequence = 0x807f245 "\e(B",
string_encoding = 1, udc_area = 0x0, udc_area_num = 0, source = CSsrcStd}

Further investigation shows the xterm behaviour I was seeing was due to an NLS configuration error. Also, the TWM menus I see look as expected. Can you narrow down this problem a bit more?
