(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+] 6/1)

When setting the window title on a page in non-ISO-8859-1 charset, every non-ASCII character shows up as a "?" in the window title. To reproduce: Go to: http://www.dmoz.org/World/Russian/%f3%d4%d2%c1%ce%d9_%c9_%d2%c5%c7%c9%cf%ce%d9/ (Charset KOI8-R) http://www.dmoz.org/World/Japanese/%a5%ec%a5%af%a5%ea%a5%a8%a1%bc%a5%b7%a5%e7%a5%f3/ (Charset EUC-JP) http://msn.co.il/homepage.asp (Charset WINDOWS-1255) The pages themselves show up fine (right fonts, etc.) Linux build 2000.04.16.06
reassign to peter trudelle. Peter- probably there are more people care about window title text than you thought.

I know, but it is still 7% of the users, and Daniel has worse bugs that affect 100%. reassigning to danm as p3 for M17. Is this a dup of <A> HREF="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28320">28320</A>?

I have checked in a fix. We now pass in the correct data to X... what it does with this data is up to the window manager... my window manager is using an english font for the titles so it doesn't know how to show japanese characters. Could someone with the proper setup please verify this fix?
