I don't see anywhere in this thread where anyone other than yourself
has claimed that, but maybe I missed some messages. Whoever said it is
incorrect.

Emacs comes preconfigured to remap Cyrillic characters so they can be
displayed with iso8859-5, koi8 and alternativnyj fonts. If you follow
the examples for these in lisp/languages/cyrillic.el, and use the
cp1251 table in codepage.el, you can probably come up with a mapping
for rawin-r fonts.  If such fonts are really that widespread on
non-MS-Windows systems, then it would be very useful if someone could
contribute something to make them work. MS-Windows is not a concern,
since display is actually done in UTF-16 on that platform where
possible.
