All cyrillic characters are displayed as rectangles [terminus-font] about dzen HOT 7 OPEN

Works fine with dzen2-0.8.5-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrading_Packages )

from dzen.

Yes, works fine in dzen2-0.8.5 but dont work in dzen2-0.9.5. Any chance to fix it?

from dzen.

can we have this fixed please?

it's not even possible to use this repository as reference and get a certain older revision from it (because it has no tags)

and it's not possible to attempt a bisection because it has no svn history imported

Having the same issue here.
The solution (bad solution) for me was to run dzen w/ LC_CTYPE in "ru_RU.UTF-8". Other locale variables don't change its behaviour.
Downgrading works for me, too.

I have the exact same issue. It appears that we are going to have to fix this ourselves. If I get time I'll see if I can fix it (I'll report back if I do).

Two easy workarounds I can see:

1. LANG=fr dzen2 ........
   It has to be a language that exists, but that you haven't enabled.
2. Just compile it without XFT enabled (pick option 4)

Thank you @stevenhoneyman. Workaround (2) is very simple on Gentoo.
