I don't have LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL and LANG defined at all. I did not see any
reference of them in the fvwm manpage. Strangely, FreeBSD does not have
zh_CN.GB2312 locale installed. But I did try with a Big5 font with the
following:

export LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 LC_ALL=zh_TW.Big5 LANG=zh_TW.Big5

with still the same result.

I thought libiconv is always required in 2.5.2.

Here are the info:

fvwm-2.5.2 Popular virtual window manager for X
XFree86-Server-4.2.0_3 XFree86-4 X server and related programs
XFree86-clients-4.2.0_2 XFree86-4 Client environments
XFree86-font100dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts
XFree86-font75dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts
XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Cyrillic Fonts
XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.2.0 XFree86-4 default bitmap fonts
XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files
XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files
XFree86-libraries-4.2.0_1 XFree86-4 include/(shared) library kit
iconv-2.0_1 Charset conversion library and utilities
libiconv-1.8 A character set conversion library

The browser I am running is the linux native mozilla and opera. Will
this make a difference at all?

Regards,

Shao.
