Debian bug #353304, upstream bug #15791

It seems from what I see in fontforge by editing the fonts that the
"sample" string is legitimate. They are the "sample" field for the
various languages.

However, from what I see, the sample string in FreeMono.sfd for
Russian (lang 1049) seems to be broken.

I guess this is what causes the errors you noticed.

As a consequence, I propose fixing this bug by only fixing that
string. See attached patch (against current upstream CVS). Primoz
(upstream author of freefont) is CC'ed for comments.
