Aha.=20

Font Path:
  /usr/local/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/local/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/local/share=
/fonts/OTF/,/usr/local/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/local/share/fonts/100dpi/,/u=
sr/local/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-ins

Evidently, Mate is not using the webfonts. But please read on.

I've already tried with a clean Firefox profile, does not make any
difference.

That is actually useful advice, its result surprised me. I created a
test user with the default login class, ran startx from that user and
you know what! I saw all the text on the map!

OK, I logout, assign the test user to the "russian" login class, login,
startx, firefox - and here is the map without text again.

So the problem is somehow linked to locale, but running something
like "env -i LANG=3DC DISPLAY=3D:1 firefox" from my regular user does not f=
ix the map.

Any more useful advice?
