yep. The fonts in question fail to tell XmbFontSet what encoding they use so the font code refuses to load it. This is the same thing causing people to have issues with the artwiz fonts. Last night I was able to irc with Brad and we worked out a test for whether multibyte support is actually needed by the locale. I have this coded up and in 0.62.1. I am sitting on it for a little while waiting for any bugs to come in.
