Anyway, thanks for to pay attention to.
DESCRIPTION
xlsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern.
And command 'xlsfonts "*koi8-r*"' will display 962 matched items (for
example '-cronyx-helvetica-medium-o-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-koi8-r')
which one, I assume, should be available for any apps. If so, then why
xterm may does not display cyrillic in case when 'xterm*faceName' option
given in ~/.Xdefaults? Finally, I have found the answer!
xterm*faceName: courier
xterm*faceSize: 22
XTerm*locale: true
XTerm.vt220.renderFont: true
Someone, please add this issue to FAQ.
