Bug#364692: xorg: Upgrade to Xorg7 breaks unicode fonts
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: important
Hi. After upgrading to Xorg 7 I noticed that many applications have no
Unicode fonts any more: konqueror, firefox, konsole, gnome-terminal,
etc.
I found this report
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364486
and I can confirm it, but it isn't the only application messed up,
see this screenshot:

I don't know if it is a Xorg issue or it is application-dependent or
even widgets/library-dependent. I found that some application is
still working well with UTF8 chars (for instance, xchat), many others not.
