Yes. Is that really all?
Yes that is all.
What do you get in ko_KR.UTF-8?

I don't really understand how fontconfig is "supposed"
to handle languages
yet, so the way that code is "designed" (ie, hardly at all :-( ),
there's usually a pretty long list for me. Eg, as you can see above
it's checking Japanese fonts for English support, it would typically
check Korean too.
Does Red Hat (or you) customize the system (resp your personal)
fonts.conf, maybe?
Not particularly AFAIK, but I can send you the system fonts.conf
from my Fedora Core 4 installation if you like.

Only UTF-8 locales? Have you tried "native" locales such as
ja_JP.eucJP?
Yep, same thing.
How about 8-bit non-Latin locales (Russian, Hebrew,
Arabic) with UTF-8?
Doesn't crash, and shows Hebrew and Arabic glyphs.
(ie, I can't find a way to
reproduce the crash), I'll come back to it, trust me. :-)
