Russian Font problem on Linux

Questions

I just downloaded (from github) three versions 6.0., 5.1.0 and 4.2, and all of them look like this when I open them:

Look at the right part: this is written in Cyrillic but those are English words, which I honestly find hilarious, but that’s not what I ever wanted.
So to be clear, those are English words, but all letters are simply translated as if I used my French keyboard (and french layout). Which makes no sense, to neither an English-speaker, nor to a Russian speaker (which I am…).
Same for the left part: that’s sig House keyword is written in cyrillc.
Yes, I confirm I do not use any other layout than French.

I tried to use version 4.2 on another laptop (Debian Buster), and everything is fine.
Problem happens on my openSUSE Tumbleweed. I checked for my env variables, that might cause the issue, but there is absolutely nothing that says Russian or cyrillc.

Not sure what to look for?
I am completely new to alloy and its IDE.

This is likely an OS/java interaction problem with the fonts. You could try to use another font (in the options menu.)

Thanks for your help! Indeed, after changing font config to something else, everything is in order.
