All FvwmScript configs named FvwmApplet-* belong to fvwm-themes.

Probably the font specified in the FvwmApplet-DigitalClock configuration
does not exist for your locale charset, I run:

  xlsfonts -fn '-*-lucida-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*'

and get that there are only iso10646-1, iso8859-1 and koi8-r versions.
If this is true for you too then you will obviously not see Hungarian
characters (they are not in iso8859-1, I guess). You may try to use
hu_HU.utf8 locale, then it should work. Alternativelly, you may try to
specify some existing Hungarian font (iso8859-2?), or even something
like this:

  Font StringEncoding=iso8859-2:-*-lucida-bold-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

Tell us if this works.

Mikhael.
