You'll need to give a better description of the problem.

anthor thing is that the fonts are relly bad!
for example when open ths ARCHLINUX.org main page I see   מש
Many empty squars, and so on. a relly messed up fonts, with all brwsers too.

The empty squares are due because you don't have the right font to display the characters. What font packages do you have installed on your system? 

You could also try to change the character encoding in your browser.  That can cause special symbols to display incorrectly.

and anthor thing is when runing KDM, I get X org erorr something.

Here again, you'll need to give more info. Describe the problem. You could also check the Xorg log for any warning and/or error messages.

About your DISPLAY env, try:
export DISPLAY=myhost:0.0

tty
