Hello. Maybe I have missed some earlier details, sorry if so.
It seems only the two environment variables I left above MAY be of
relevance for the subject. Maybe you try to change the default locale to
ru_RU.KOI8-R. It seems easier and "more default" to set-up the language
environment for KOI8-R. It was painless for me to use just
set-language-env
(from the language-env package).
As for font environment in general, the output of following commands are
useful:
xset q
(the part related to Font Path)
and (if according to the default, the 1st part of the path is like
unix:/7100), the "catalogue" field from /etc/X11/fs/config.
Two more commands to obtain info useful for helping you are
dpkg -l|fgrep font|fgrep
and
dpkg -l|fgrep language-env
At last, did you try to launch an X term with manually specified font?
xterm -fn 10x20-cyrillic &
(this will use KOI8-r font).
Some sysadmins in this maillist do use UTF-8, and there was some
discussion of the subject here but I did not follow it. At last the
package list search does not immediately yield a package with UTF-8
Cyrillic fonts. So try setting up in KOI8-R first and explore UTF option
later on.
Good luck!
