I do not use login class for my user account. It's not necessary.
However, creating a new user and assigning it to the "russian" login
class makes no difference: firefox displays the fonts on the map
correctly. /etc/login.conf hasn't been changed.
Unless you have to use some special settings for your login class, I
think a short-term solution would be to not use login classes at all.
