Can you re-do checks with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8?
This is indeed strange. I don't doubt your report, but I still can't reproduce the problem. This is what I did: 1. Start the terminal: LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 stterm -f Terminus 2. Run locale(1) from within the terminal to confirm that the locale settings get applied correctly; they do 3. Run: echo Привет 4. The Cyrillic letters get printed and echoed normally, no extra space. >> On my system I have disabled the bitmap fonts: I have this >> symbolic link in place: >> >> /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf -> >> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf > > No, I did no configuration in /etc/fonts/conf.d. I wasn't aware of it. The link is created (or deleted) when configuring fontconfig-config. If you are not getting asked about bitmap fonts try with dpkg-reconfigure -p low. I tried to re-enable the bitmap fonts in this way but nothing changed. If you compile st directly from the upstream source does the problem show up? What about the older versions? Compiling st is quick and easy, so this might be worth trying. Let me know if there is anything else I can try. Paride
