With any locale, with any order of FontPaths in XF86Config it tries to
use "*-koi8-r" font. If I completely remove FontPath for koi8-r fonts
(which is not option for normal work), then after failing to load koi8
font it fallbacks to 'fixed'.

But I could not understand why GNUstep can't use koi8-r fonts? These
have ASCII on same places as latin1 etc.

And second, why GNUstep tries use KOI8 font even with non-russian
locales?
