KDE 5/Plasma cyrillics problem

I have installed Plasma just today and I am experiencing a problem with cyrillic letters. I do not see them, instead of the letters i see boxes. I'm experiencing it everywhere, in different browsers, file manager and even LibreOffice. I see german umlauts though

Maybe it's font/locale related? I see cyrillic letters just fine.

I have Serbian locale and standard fonts. I had gnome and could see all letters just fine

Re: KDE 5/Plasma cyrillics problem

Coincidentally, Serbian locale over here as well, and no problems whatsoever.

% locale
LANG=sr_RS.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sr_RS.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

% cat .config/plasma-locale-settings.sh 
# Generated script, do not edit
# Exports language-format specific env vars from startkde.
# This script has been generated from kcmshell5 formats.
# It will automatically be overwritten from there.
export LANG=sr_RS.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=sr_RS

Re: KDE 5/Plasma cyrillics problem

Solved it by installing ttf-ubuntu-font-family from the official repository and setting it as default fonts (as seen in your screenshot). Хвала
