So what can you do? Complain to your distribution that (a) libXt
doesn't print the list of missing charsets, and (b) libX11 + libXt
require a charset for your locale that is not provided by any font in
an xorg-x11-fonts-* package (and, in my case, is highly unlikely to be
needed by any user in the locale).

The attached patch to libXt 1.0.7 will list all fonts not found.
On my test system I get the following output:

Note that the whole GNU gv sources do not contain e. g. the string "KOI"
(case independent) and therefore not "KOI8-R", so it's clearly the case
that libXt+libX11 require that fontset - like I cited from the web site
above.
It may help (but I do _not_ think it's a good idea, as it will
completely break international mode) to remove
XtSetLanguageProc(NULL, NULL, NULL);
from main.c.
