           Summary: with utf-8 locale loading of apps with bitmapfonts takes
                    forever
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: i18n
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Fonts/other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: joy at telephonefm.com

while having a utf-8 locale switched on, loading of an x-app with bitmapfont
like xcalc or xfontsel takes a long time with high cpu-load. this seems to be
caused by the underlying XLC_LOCALE in en_US.UTF-8, with missing asian encodings.
strace xcalc says:
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL)        = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\3174\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\4\0\0\0@\vL\t\1\0\0\0\220y\\"..., 32) = 32
writev(3, [{"1\0\t\0\1\0\31\0", 8}, {"*-*-*-*-*-JISX0208.1983-0", 25},
{"\0\0\0", 3}], 3) = 36
read(3, 0xbfffd400, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
as asian encodings aren't really needed with european locales it would be nice
if they could be ommited. didn`t tried it with instaled jisx encodings tough.
