Wine and cyrillic input and output ?

I use XFree 4.1 and external xfs (because my workstation also acts as a 
truetype font server for several suns - and if xfs is already running, it 
is a waste of memory not to use it).
But it really doesn't matter. From application point of view, the source of 
font can't be determined.

Attached to this message, there is the output of wine -debugmsg +font 
notepad.exe
It shows that iso8859-1 fonts are opened ...  this may be the reason of 
the problem: iso8859 fonts have no cyrillic chars.

Does that mean that you use hacked way, when koi8-r codes are returned in 
XEvents? As far as I know, this way is wrong. The correct way is to return 
Cyrillic_* keysyms in XEvents, and setup cyrillic locale. This is required 
for modern software (such as anything based on Qt2) to work. There is a 
well-known article by Ivan Pascal that explains why.

Anyway, while running -debugmsg +key,+keyboard the following is printed if 
I try to input cyrillic A:

trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent state = 2001
trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent KeyPress : keysym=6E1 (Cyrillic_A), 
ascii
chars=1 / E1 / 'А'
trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent keycode 0x29 converted to vkey 0x46
trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent bScan = 0x21.
trace:key:queue_kbd_event  wParam=0046, lParam=00210001, InputKeyState=80

trace:key:TranslateMessage (WM_CHAR, 0046, 00210001)

trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent KeyRelease : keysym=6E1 (Cyrillic_A), 
ascii chars=1 / E1 / 'А'
trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent keycode 0x29 converted to vkey 0x46
trace:key:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_HandleEvent bScan = 0x21.

trace:key:TranslateMessage (WM_KEYUP, 0046, C0210001)

And english F is inputed instead of russian A.

There are plenty of fonts, and many of them have russian characters.

I thought about it because created ~/.wine/system.reg contained the 
following lines:
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Nls\\Codepage] 970847224
"ACP"="1252"
"OEMCP"="437"
I replaced those with
"ACP"="1251"
"OEMCP"="866"
But seems that nothing changed.
