And what is the contents of /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType?
Do you have Vera*.ttf files there?

So let's check whether you see these fonts?

try to run xfontsel and select, say, such font:

-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

And next try to use gnome-terminal (uxterm works incorrectly :( ) and
select 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' font and try to view any unicode (you
have UTF-8 locale?) russian text.

I have msttcorefonts package installed, so when selecting any font like

-*-andale mono-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

I can see russian glifs 'АБВГД' in 3d line.
