First you should add the debian packages that contain cyrillic fonts for
X (should be easy, maybe you already did it). Then edit your
/etc/X11/XFConfig, find the section "Files" and make sure that the
directorie(s) containing cyrillic fonts are in the FontPath. E.g., I
have
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
EndSection
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you then restart the X server, you should be able to use the fonts
from the cyrillic directory in an xterm or netscape (see the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/fonts.dir), e.g.
$ xterm -fn -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-koi8-r
