I think you might need a better endowed font. My suggestions wouldn't be suitable, probably. Cheers, David.

I don't know which fonts you had installed on stretch, nor what you have in buster. Assuming that "delete TitleFont in system.twmrc and .twmrc" is the cure for stretch, and that this cure does not work in buster, perhaps you should try actually setting an appropriate (and installed) font in one of those two files, as intended. I haven't run twm since I tried it in about 1996 (I might have tried motif, too) so I won't be much help. man twm says that the default font is "variable", so I wasn't surprised that xfd -fn variable gave me the same display as the aforementioned xfd -fn -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* Cheers, David.

Consider using a window manager with scalable font support (this is what Firefox uses to draw its content). Xfce is a popular and lightweight choice. But twm can be made to work: I copied the system twmrc to ~/.twmrc and edited the TitleFont line to: TitleFont "hanzigb16fs" and then restarted twm. The Firefox window title was then displayed in Chinese for a Chinese language page. In fact, all window titles were displayed in Chinese. Tested with debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-xfce.iso under QEMU with locale zh_CN.UTF-8 set with "dpgk-reconfigure locales" and twm manually installed. Here are a few Chinese bitmap fonts installed by default: $ xlsfonts | grep gb2312 -isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-fangsong ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--0-0-72-72-c-0-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0 -isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-240-gb2312.1980-0 These three are aliases for the three fonts above without --0-0 in their names $ xlsfonts | grep hanzigb hanzigb16fs hanzigb16st hanzigb24st Kind regards, -- Ben Caradoc-Davies <ben@transient.nz> Director Transient Software Limited <https://transient.nz/> New Zealand
