do you have any fonts that provide russion cyrillic characters? Yes I do have (e.g.: Verdana font). A small addition to the bug: In the same time all gtk1 apps work with no problems. did you have an older fontconfig before hand? as far as i know, verdana should work fine with russian fonts on mozilla or any other gtk app. (i know because evolution opens all my russian spam properly ;) it is the first time i've heard of this, but i'm not too familiar with fontconfig, maybe foser might know a little more about it. Nope, I did not have an older fontconfig before, as I had exactly the same trouble with a plain new installation. It seems to be that fontconfig does not see any oher glyphs except english one. Reemerge it and it sees them ;) One more testing case showed that fc-cache -v does not solve the issue. Againg reemerging was the remedy. hmm that shouldve been 'fc-cache -f', did i say -v ? -vf wouldve been ok If I open xterm and switch GTK font antialiasing off (export GDK_USE_XFT=1), then start application from this xterm window (for example Mozilla) I don't have such a problem (but I don't have antialiased font support of course). Of course it disapears too after reemerging fontconfig. NEEDINFO really still need you to try with '-f' I recently made a fresh gentoo installation on a new box with gtk2 + gnome. fc-cache -f did not help at all. It indeed regenerated the cache, but everything stayed as it was. Again remerging solved the isue. well either there's something happening to your binaries or it's a complete mystery to me. The only thing the ebuild does is rebuild and run 'fc-cache -f' (as root). It is possible that the fontconfig caches are locale dependant, but then this should be solved if you redo this with under the right locale. >It is possible that the fontconfig caches are locale dependant, but then

This was the case, as I specify my LC_ALL settings in the 00basic (or /etc/profile)
file, which means that root has exactly the same locale.
