Can you do locale -a and let me know the results? Thanks.
Is this possibly not related to the issue I was having where en_US.UTF8 was not installed/enabled? It looks identical.
$ locale -a

ru_RU.utf8
Russian is the default one for the system, but steam is configured (in its settings) to use english l10n.
The cyrillic symbols are displaying correctly in the trade chat, but not in "Options" or in a game chat. In the menu "Options" cyrillic text are not readable (a wrong encoding).

Does installing en_US.utf8 fix the issue? Thanks.
Huh, yes, it did. Cyrillic text now uses slightly different font, but aside from that it works perfectly, thanks.
Nothing extracted yet.
Screenshots pretty much explain everything, it was even worse earlier (half of all letters weren't displaying), but it got better with patches. On both screenshots my name consists of cyrillic letters only and is not displayed, some other players have blank names as well, I assume they consis of non-ASCII chars too.
I have debian/wheezy 64bit with latest NVidia blob.
