FYI, it seems to be rather a problem with locale data than with fonts (the  
menu thing is probably due to larswm, the menus just hide behind the main  
window, as I accidentally found today as well). I finally figured setting  
LC_ALL to C works for me, but of course I get en_US units, day names etc.  
now. It would sure be nice to have that localized correctly. Does anyone  
have an idea concerning that matter? Holger's seperate problem with  
Bitstream Vera-fonts, see below, didn't happen to me, though, and I don't  
know how to fix it, either.
