When using fontconfig, xterm is a unicode-only application, so you''ll
want
to run 

$ xterm -u8 -fa ''courier new'' -e luit

You might check the manual for ''luit'' to see what options are
available
for that program.

Hi,

I''m using OpenBSD/i386 -current with XFree86 Version 4.3.0.
I''ve installed the "msttcorefonts-1.2" port to get the  
"Microsoft TrueType core fonts" in this dir:

    newhope:alex {510} ll /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/mscorefonts/
    total 11976
    ....
    608 -r--r--r--  1 root  bin  302688 Jul 19 12:52 cour.ttf
    640 -r--r--r--  1 root  bin  311508 Jul 19 12:52 courbd.ttf
    480 -r--r--r--  1 root  bin  234788 Jul 19 12:52 courbi.ttf
    496 -r--r--r--  1 root  bin  244156 Jul 19 12:52 couri.ttf
    ....

and also added that path to the /etc/X11/XF86Config:

    Section "Files"
    RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
    ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
    FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/mscorefonts/"
....
    Section "Module"
	    Load  "dbe"
	    Load  "extmod"
	    Load  "glx"
	    Load  "record"
	    Load  "xtrap"
	    Load  "speedo"
	    Load  "type1"
	    Load  "freetype"
    EndSection

and it''s also in OpenBSD''s /etc/fonts/fonts.conf by default:

    <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
    <dir>/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
    <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
    <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

Those truetype fonts seem to support the cyrillic charset:

    newhope:X11 {519} fc-list :lang=ru | grep -i regular | sort
    Andale Mono:style=Regular
    Arial Black:style=Regular
    Arial:style=Regular
    Comic Sans MS:style=Regular
    Courier New:style=Regular
    ....

and I can run xterm with a truetype font: xterm -fa ''Courier
New''.
But how could I make xterm display russian letters correctly?
I''ve tried: xterm -fa ''Courier New:lang=ru'' but the
russian chars
aren''t displayed. Here''s the more verbose output:
