You seem to have chosen a strange locale. Can you give the content of
your LANG environment variable?

Moreover, your font setting for gtk1 is a little bit strange. I'm not
sure about this, but I think you need to set the charset portion of the
font for gtk1. The problem of debian unstable is that it is build for
gnome2 and there is no way of setting fonts easily for gnome1
applications. The only way I know of is putting a .gtkrc file into your
home directory.
