Hi there!
Whenever i start an app in an urxvt via Wmii-Hotkey ("urxvt -e centerim" as well as "urxvt" and input "centerim"), there are problems with some characters shown (the german umlauts ä ü ö, in my case). These just look strange then.
The problem doesn't occur when i launch these apps from an urxvt created by another terminal.
EDIT: Same goes for Xterm! The problem seems to be on wmii's side...

Any ideas?
What is the font setup in your wmiirc ?
and
what is the font setup in your .Xdefaults?

$ cat .Xdefaults | grep font
urxvt*font: xft:Consolas:pixelsize=21
urxvt*boldfont: xft:Consolas:pixelsize=21
Aterm*font: xft:Consolas:pixelsize=1
Aterm*boldfont: xft:Consolas:pixelsize=188$ cat .wmii-3.5/wmiirc | grep FONT
DMENU_FONT='-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
WMII_FONT='-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-60-*-1'
[...]Well, the font-rules from wmii dont have anything to do with the fonts shown in my terminal, don't they? They only change the wm's font (text in statusbar and window-titles).
EDIT: I just changed my WMII_FONT & DMENU_FONT from fixed to veranda. Now it magically works oO.
Thank you so much!

I am sort of suspicious that your urxvt fonts setting is not working.
You can try putting the working WMII_FONT in urxvt font setting and keep your WMII_FONT back to "fixed". If it is still working, that means, your "consolas" fonts were not used at all.
I never used xft font setting in urxvt, so no clue of whether your current setting is correct.

uhm, i edited my thread - now it works!
and xft for urxvt is just great! i changed the wmii and dmenu font from
"-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-60-*-1" to
"-*-veranda-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-60-*-1"
- No problems anymore! And i do have consolas and veranda as font, not the fixed (which was pain in my eyes).
