Jeremy,

thank you for the reply. I verified that all QT applications on FreeBSD
and X (and even xterm) are OK, only in GTK2 applications I see that problem.

BTW, what version of GTK2/pango/fontconfig do you have ?

I am not sure which problem you are trying to help me with :-)
I already have LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 and everything works well, except,
again, for the issue with the combining character, which manifests
itself differently from other GTK2 applications (mark is put at some
other position).

Thank you again!
