I have no idea what I did exactly, but I installed all the remaining X.Org fonts (abouts 25), and despite using the same MenuFont (and TitleFont) as previously (adobe-helvetica), or at least I think so, cyrillic, hangul, and various Japanese characters show up just fine. I also installed xlsfonts, xfd, and xfontsel but I do not think that would have changed anything. Hangul was the last to appear correctly among the three.
