Hmmm... Check your /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. Here's mine as a sample;

LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en:en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"

Hi all,

I have FC2 (no updates - just the 4 cd from the site)
and I try to make xconfig

whell a window pops up and instead of getting readable information, I get
small circles (instead of characters) with various parts filled in black
(half, full, quarter.. no circles just spaces....etc)

I have English US and English language only as system wide and during the
session!

any hints?

Yep! that was it!

thank you lenard,
T.
