I'm not sure if this is related to item (B), but let me report one.

I tried Japanese. In UI, Japanese texts of only few labels are displayed.
I never use Japanese for sawfish and it's the first time, 
so I can't tell if it's a regression or not.

Label: I'm not sure of the terminology, but I mean the text only widget
It's peculiar that all Japanese texts in button, tab, etc, are printed 
correctly.

Root menu and submenus texts are also OK. Only UI has this problem.

All cases where Japanese texts are printed seem that the label lies
leftmost in hbox. So in matcher, many texts are ok.

I can't help for this issue.

> A) somehow randomly

If you mean some remain English, then I see it too.


And pager issue:

This is different. Don't use pager.jlc, the byte-compiled. Use raw
pager.jl instead. (Must be librep bug, but mysterious.)

I can't remember from where I learned this. It can't be found in the
source tarball.
