Issue 44: Support for i18n in window titles http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=44 New issue report by m...@jansb.org: It would be nice to see xmonad and its extensions get better i18n support, in particular for printing of window titles using the NamedWindow, Decoration and Tabbed from XMonadContrib. I have a number of patches for X11-extras and XMonadContrib that constitute a step in that direction. These all assume that setlocale has been called previously, see issue 43. The patch in getname.patch rewrites getname using locale-aware functions. x11-extras-patches.patch contains one patch to add wide character drawing operations using FontSets, and one patch to add a function to extract the foreground pixel from a graphic context. font.patch adds the module XMonadContrib.Font which aims to provide an abstract interface to string drawing functions. The implementation uses wide character string drawing functions by default, but can be configured to use xft, in which case the bindings at http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~jansborg/xft are needed. changetofont.patch changes Decoration and Tabbed to use the Font module. WARNING: this can be extremely slow unless xft is used, due to decoration reopening the font very often. Using the fontset implementation this is slow to the point of being useless since XCreateFontSet can be really slow.
