I've suspected the same. However, the problem persists even if I specifically request the iso8859-1 registry and encoding in the font selection string. It's not as noticable as in the screenshot posted by Aaron Sloman earlier and it's also curious how it only affects some versions of some window managers.

I suspect discrepancies between headers used to compile wm binaries in distro repos in conjunction with specific versions of Xorg, since the behavior changes if I compile the wm:s myself. I've not yet tried compiling fvwm2 from source, perhaps I should do that and examine the result. (As noted earlier, my personal problem is not with CTWM).
