Default Aliased Fonts on xorg-x11

Hello folks,

Some days ago emerged xorg-x11 (initially did not use truetype and
type1 fonts) and after some hours did realize that fonts were awful to
look especially on a lcd panel. So re-emerged with truetype fonts
turned on and the things looked better...

.... a day after looking at a russian website realized that the cyrillic
fonts on my laptop are all some kind of clean, terminal, unstylable
(i.e. no bold or italic appliable) fonts. What can I do? The last time
when I emerged xorg and xfce4 from scratch everything went pretty well.

Please excuse my ignorance but which files should I edit in order to be
able using aliased, truetyped fonts even with cyrillic layouts?

### /etc/make.conf ###
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
-fprefetch-loop-arrays -fforce-addr -ffast-math"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
FEATURES="distcc ccache noauto"
LINGUAS="en it ru"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-z,now"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.die.unipd.it/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo-sources"

### /etc/portage/packages.use ###
sys-libs/glibc nptl nptlonly
x11-base/xorg-x11 sse mmx 3dnow insecure-drivers opengl xv bitmap-fonts
truetype-fonts type1-fonts
media-video/mplayer sse sse2 mmx mmxext 3dnow 3dnowext alsa dga
divx4linux dvd opengl real xvid xv win32codecs avi rtc real
media-libs/win32codecs real quicktime
www-client/mozilla-firefox java
app-office/openoffice-ximian nptl

i've emerged xfce session and taskbar only with:

root@teia ~ # emerge xorg-x11 xfce-session

PS: I have another problem with openoffice... it just crashes when
opens *any* file - would it be related to nptl flag?
