The only explanation I can think of is that these fonts do not
support your locale. If this is the case, setting

  $ export LANG=C
  $ export LC_CTYPE=""

before fvwm is started, the font should work again - at the cost
of not being able to display localised glyphs in window titles.
It seems that the "multibyte" code is not able to handle
multiple locales simultaneously and I don't understand how this
can be done in X. So, your options are: don't use the multibyte
option and live with non-localised window titles. Or use
different fonts that support your locale.

Bye
