It's obviously not a setup problem, I think. It looks more like there is 
initially on a debian install no monospaced font to provide Cyrillic characters 
(Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Mongolian?) – or you've missed to 
install support for Russian. After installing Linux Libertine you have Cyrillic 
monospaced characters and so libfontconfig recommends to use Libertine.

Other options are the GNU Freefonts and particularly DejaVu (based on Bitstream 
Vera), or the RedHat/Fedora Liberation fonts.

This gives a good feeling…

a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, 
grasping and unintelligent.
