[dev] [dwm] Most fonts do not work

Hi all,

I have a problem with dwm (current git without patches): I cannot use
most of the fonts I have tried. For example, Misc Fixed works, Lucida
shows only weird glyphs, Helvetica is distorted.

Misc Fixed works using this line:
static const char font[] =
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1";

Lucida does not work using this line:
static const char font[] =
"-*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1";

Helvetica does not work using this line:
static const char font[] =
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1";

Here is how my screen looks using those fonts:

The font strings are copied from xfontsel. All those fonts work fine
in other applications (for example in xterm and textadept). Only in
dwm they do not work.

My system locale is de_DE.UTF-8.

Does somebody have an idea what is going on here?

Thanks and kind regards,
Joshua
