No, if app called gtk_set_locale (i.e. XSetLocale indirectly) XLib will pick
the font with encoding matching your locale's encoding then. Otherwise of
course XLib will assume "C" locale and will prefer font with iso8859-1
encoding. So declaring *-* as registry-encoding is a common practice for
XDefaults files and any other files that allow to select XLFDs of something
(and this allows not to write XDefaults for all locales one migh use - just a
single file does the job for all locales).
