I have some problems with xfree86 displaying Cyrillic characters. I run the latest version of X on my cygwin machine (x-server), and FreeBSD 4.8 (x-clients). I use KDE as my desktop. When I run Konqueror, Cyrillic characters look great, but when I run Mozilla, everything seems to be smashed a lot and instead of Cyrillic characters, I get some squares with numbers.
In addition, I really do not like the anti-aliasing feature in the xfree86. It makes my monitor look like rubbish. How can I disable it?
This is the messages I get right after starting the X server on my cygwin:
--- my messages begin --- $ xinit

Thank you, Constantine.
