Hello! Thank you very much for FEH, I'm using it a long time! But there is 1 problem, I see it on different Linux installations (KDE, Debian or Kubuntu 22.04): all works correctly except "display file name", "D" hotkey or popup menu, you can see attached screenshot. Screenshot_20230626_152331 Please advise me a settings or may be fix it if it is a bug. Thank you! Sergey

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem.

UPD: Here's the solution. Noto Sans -Regular supports Cyrilic, so:

sudo cp /usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSans-Regular.ttf /usr/share/feh/fonts/notosans.ttf

feh -d -e notosans/12 /path/to/the/dir

P.S the font setup in feh is clunky and terrible. I don't understand why it was so hard to recursively parse the default /usr/share/fonts.

UPD 2: This, however, doesn't fix the pop-up menu but makes it possible to properly display Cyrillic symbols inside image names in feh and in thumbnail mode.
