You need koi8-u fonts.
Type 'xlsfonts | grep koi8-u' to see if you already have some koi8-u fonts.
Until very recently koi8-u support doesn't even existed in X11 (Linux-Mandrake
6.1 was I think the first distribution to provide it); now there is
support, but fonts are still lacking.
If you have some unicode encoded TTF fonts you can use them (I use Arial
and Lucida Console myself, however while free to use they are not free to
distribute, eg we can't include them on our CDs).
Recently I got a copy of ttf_edit and I'm testing it; it is a program
that allows re-encoding of TTF files. So if the author of the files agree,
we can re-encode them and ship them (they must be unicode encoded in order
to be used on Linux).
Expect a package fonts-ttf-cyrillic-*.noarch.rpm to appear on our site soon.
Those fonts will be available for all supported cyrillic encodings
(koi8-r, koi8-u, iso8859-5 and microsoft-cp1251)
