- If fonts are specified as xlfd, convert to fc names before creating them.

Browse Source 
This was we internally only deal with fc names and properties. It will
  incur a small performance hit as the font needs to be parsed/unparsed,
  but this is only for backward-compatibility to support old xlfd names.
  People are encouraged to swtich to fontconfig names.
- WINGs no longer adds sans as a fallback for internal fonts. It is
  automatically done by fontconfig (if it can't find the requested font
  it will use the closest match which is the default font: sans-serif)
- Added code to honor the AntialiasesText global option
- Fixed style names for WMCopyFontWithStyle()
- Added fonts in style files where they were missing. Also changed some
  fonts to better defaults.

- if you'd like to display multibyte characters, set the
MultiByteText option to YES in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
and ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
- the fonts you're using support your locale. if your font
setting on $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker is like..
WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
WindowTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
MenuTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
......................................................
then you can't display non iso8859-x charcters by helvetica.
so quick way to display various languages' font is to change
all the font settings into:
"-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
then you can't display asian language (ja,ko,ch) characters using
Trebuchet MS. A font that is guaranteed to work for any language is
sans (or sans-serif). sans is not a font itself, but an alias which
points to multiple fonts and will load the first in that list that
has the ability to show glyphs in your language. If you don't know
a font that is suited for you language you can always set all your
fonts to something like:
and also you need to change font settings in style files in
"sans:pixelsize=12"
However, please note that if your font is something like:
"Trebuchet MS,Luxi Sans,sans:pixelsize=12"
this will not be able to display asian languages if any of the
previous fonts before sans are installed. This is because unlike
the proper font pickup that sans guarantees for your language,
this construct only allows a font fallback mechanism, which tries
all the fonts in the list in order, until it finds one that is
available, even if it doesn't support your language.
Also you need to change font settings in style files in
the "$HOME/Library/WindowMaker/Style" directory.
