Warning, I am a bit dumb on locale stuff. In the WindowsXP with Microsoft  
Word can display font correct with all of Bitstream Vera fonts (sans, mono  
and serif), so might be bug somewhere in freetype, pango or else. I have  
the same result with your screenshots for gtk2/pango.

As for the gvim problem, you have to run it with UTF-8 in LANG set. Like  
example, run 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8 gvim", "LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 gvim" or other  
locale will display correct unless you change the font to Bitstream Vera  
Serif that will display reversed R a bit strange.

Cheers,
Mezz
