Hello, First a couple of questions: What newsreader/irc are you using? If they run in xterm, did you check that _it_ runs with an appropriate font? (Sorry for this last, but sometimes stupid mistakes happen :-) And a suggestion. Have you tried wmcyrx instead of Xkb or Xrus? The problem with Xkb is that not all of the applications are "well behaved". Besides, wmcyrx has the useful feature of supporting several different Cyrillic encodings (actually, I type with a slightly patched version in koi8-r/cp1251/alt Russian and in cp866 Ukrainean).
