I have no idea what I did exactly, but I installed all the remaining X.Org
fonts (abouts 25), and despite using the same MenuFont (and TitleFont) as 
previously (adobe-helvetica), or at least I think so, cyrillic, hangul,
and various Japanese characters show up just fine. 

I also installed xlsfonts, xfd, and xfontsel but I do not think that would
have changed anything.

Hangul was the last to appear correctly among the three.
