This is *not* a Freetype problem.
You are correct this is ultimately Freetype which is used, but
Freetype makes no distinction between Cyrillic or Armenian
or Japanese or whatever: for it, glyphs are asked as a raw
string of glyph codes, or perhaps it is aked to provide the
cmap table inside the TrueType font

Then I would suspect the intermediary level, the one which
calls Freetype directly (being Xft or another intermediary).


Hope it helps,
