+<para>Users not using the <acronym>ISO</acronym>-8859-1 locale have to
+make a few adjustments to their font settings. For cyrillic alphabet,
+it is sufficient to put the following line into the top of the "Files"
+section in <filename>xorg.conf</filename> because this directory
+already contains the needed bitmap fonts and their aliases:</para>
+
+<screen>FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/"</screen>
+
+<para>For ISO-8858-<replaceable>[X]</replaceable> locales use the
+following command:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput><command>sed -i 's,iso8859-1\( \|$\),iso8859-<replaceable>[X]</replaceable>\1,g' \
+    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{75dpi,100dpi,misc}/fonts.alias</command></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Make sure that fonts with the correct encoding are used for "fixed",
