Actual Results:  
Fonts are displayed incorrectly

Created attachment 63974 [details, diff]
said suse patch

Here's the diff of mentioned Suse patch, which only modifies
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE against the one installed by
xorg-x11 (newly installed v6.8.99.15)
It fixes the problem for me.

Do you know whether this has been pushed upstream?

[Comment 3 ak 2005-07-21 10:24:12 UTC]

No idea, though it seems unlikely.

This thing was bugging quite a few people for some time, only recently mention
of some patch for xorg, dealing with it, popped up on forums, so I googled a bit
and got this.

Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org and post the URL here. We'll add a
patch once it hits upstream CVS.

Thanks!

Here it is: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3839

Woops, now that I did it, I found #2676 at fdo bugzilla, which seems similar.

Ya, that looks like what you're doing but more inclusive.  I'll reference 2676.
