I tried both localhost and +localhost -- both of them used to work for

If you copy a RedHat XF86Config file, remove the line
FontPathunix/:-1
and replace with
FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled

JH RH uses an X Font Server, Debian doesn't (at least potato doesn't).
It does if you install the 'xfs' package. (Though just installing the
