There are typos; this should rather be

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 
                  'cyrillic '(nil . "iso8859-5"))
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
                  'cyrillic '(nil . "jisx0208.1983-0") nil 'append)
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 
                  'greek '(nil . "iso8859-7"))
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
                  'greek '(nil . "jisx0208.1983-0") nil 'append)

(set-charset-priority 'iso-8859-5 'iso-8859-7)

IMHO, this kind of setup should be the default -- I'm quite sure that
even Japanese or Chinese prefer half-width characters for Greek and
Cyrillic.  Any reason against this?
