My font paths (all in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts) were correct, and the
various font-using software was able to find it all.  The answer turned
out to be much simpler than that...

For some reason, the default build configuration of x.org 6.8.1 was NOT
including Speedo font drivers, which (I discovered last night) are
necessary for viewing UTF-8 encodings.  So if you ever build x.org from
source and want to ensure full Unicode support, be sure to add the line

#define BuildSpeedo YES

to your host.def file before compiling.
