If the first font would be the "selected" instead of a iso10646-1
the utf-8 characters would not be well rendered.

By the way, what I meant by "default font" is that

-*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

is the base name (the asterisks are wildcards) that X use to search and select
the font based in your locale. This process have some issues when using utf-8
locale. Just in some cases the problem is solved installing some xfonts.

To end this tale with a happy end. I inserted my favorite font (helvetica) on
libs/default.h list:

#define FLOCALE_MB_FALLBACK_FONT \
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*," \
"-*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*," \
"-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*," \
"-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"

recompiled FVWM and I am using it whithout issues/errors.
