oops - I see what you are saying (very long day). The script should have
said
#!/bin/sh
with-locale uk_UA.UTF-8 locale
with-locale uk_UA.UTF-8 date
When I do that, I do get the (un)expected result (the date rendered as n's).
Looking for a different way of seeing things, I find that xfd can display
TrueType fonts (in a limited way - no size changes). If I run
xfd -fa Terminus
It shows me a single page (0 to 255). Doing
xfd -fa FreeMono
shows several pages, populated with glyphs. Looking for the files that
represent xfonts-terminus, I see only some bitmap fonts.
However, as you report, I can tell gvim to load "Terminus" font and display
the date in uk_UA.UTF-8 locale.
Here is another clue: I can see by the access times which font is actually
being loaded. For whatever reason, both xterm and xfd are causing Xft
to load the 8859-1 version of the font rather than the unicode version.
Here's a cut-paste from my directory editor showing the access times:
crayon:/ 4 of 191 [atime]
96 Tue 18:00:06 etc/fonts/conf.d/
54 Tue 18:00:06 etc/fonts/conf.d/50-enable-terminus.conf
02 Tue 18:00:06 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ter-u12n_iso-8859-1.pcf.gz
25 Tue 17:58:35 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ter-u14b_iso-8859-1.pcf.gz
32 Tue 17:58:35 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ter-u14n_iso-8859-1.pcf.gz
70 Tue 17:58:09 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ter-u16b_unicode.pcf.gz
97 Tue 17:58:08 usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ter-u16n_unicode.pcf.gz
25 Tue 17:52:50 usr/share/doc/xfonts-terminus/README.Debian
51 Tue 17:52:20 etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-terminus.alias
The "u12n" is loaded by xfd (running in uk_UA.UTF-8 locale).
The "u14b" files were loaded by "uxterm -fa Terminus"
The "u16n" files were loaded by gvim (running in uk_UA.UTF-8 locale).
The 8859-1 fonts of course are 8-bit, and the codes that you are attempting
to display are not.
So it does not appear to be a problem with the font-files themselves,
but perhaps the font server (perhaps requiring some new or modified
information). I see that /usr/bin/X11/xfs is dated June 1.
