I have installed Mozilla 1.3a, downloaded from Mozilla.org. It is RedHat 8.0
build with Xft support, created by guys from Mozilla.org special for RedHat 8.

I has installed TTF fonts (from Windows XP) into my RedHat Linux. All programs
works with these fonts correctly. 
Mozilla 1.3a (also and 1.2.x) uses these fonts only in english code pages. I
tried to change settings in Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts panel, but in
"Cyrillic" case I has choiche for only 3  fonts: 
serif/sun serif, Fixed and Platino Linotype. If I try to select "Western" case,
I see list of all installed  TrueType fonts.

Also I tried to change  options in  unix.js file:

pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);

pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType");

But I don't have any improvements.

I downloaded Mozilla 1.3a without Xft support, but compiled also for RedHat 8.
I see all fonts in the list in Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts panel in any
cases.

What are the fonts in question?

Also, if you do an fc-list do they show up in that list?
I try to use old version of Mozilla: 1.0.1. This version don't have any problems
with TrueType fonts in cyrillic mode.

This is result of fc-list

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
