I started having big troubles with Cyrillic fonts and fonts in general 
at approximately the same time and to me it looks like something's gone 
wrong in freetype2 between .4 and .5 or something like that. I've eben 
made a patched xfree86 spell (I removed freetype2 completely) to contain 
all the latest published patches (see our bugzilla), but it didn't help. 
Finally, I resorted to installing any fonts I found in the grimoire (the 
new Bitstream Vera is nice) so that I could at least see/type Cyrillic 
letters. The Fonts panel in Gnome's dekstop preferences still doesn't 
have anything in the "sample box" though, as it used to. It was a 
glimpse of a good thing, now we're back into the fonts darkness ;-).
