I'm using utf-8 locale and I've some pdf files with non-ascii characters in the filename (such as
/tmp/ééé.pdf). When this file is opened with xpdf, the window title should be the filename. But the
non-ascii characters are not correctly rendered ("Xpdf: ééé.pdf").

There is the same problem if I used directly the "-title" option to set the window title. Others programs
are able to set utf-8 characters in the title window, so it should not a window manager bug.

Hi. I am using ISO-8859-1 here, so I can't even tell if your email
rendered correctly. When I run

xpdf -title ééé

then the title is displayed just the same as the parameter. I am using
Metacity as my WM.

I tested with 3.02-1 (now in unstable) and also 3.01-9 (etch).

Can you try running xpdf.bin instead of xpdf? /usr/bin/xpdf is a shell
script which fiddles with locale settings, perhaps it is causing a
problem.

thanks

I've retried using xpdf.bin and two different WMs (kde et gnome). The problem
is present in the two cases : "Xpdf: ééé.pdf" instead of "Xpdf: ééé.pdf"

The file open dialog and the display of the filename in the title bar
still do not work.

Also, IMO such a bug should be considered to be of normal priority
instead of minor.

To minimize possible impact, I don't import all suse' locale stuff, replacing it by non-intrusive check for "UTF-8" in environment variable.

Besides of this, the patch uses standard procedure
to set _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) and _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) hints
using XmbTextListToTextProperty() with XStdICCTextStyle argument.

Works for me in Jessie and Sid.
