Could you change the XLFD for Microsoft's "Codepages" :
. microsoft - CHARSET_REGISTRY, registration authority that owns
specified encoding
. cp1251 - CHARSET_ENCODING, registered name that identifies the
coded character set as defined by that registration authority

I only sugest using this name for XLFD glyph encodings. I do not
suggest using it for any other purpose.

This was chosen by mutual agreement between me, the X-TT developers,
and the Wine developers. It is not standard.
AV> Why not "cp1251".
Because XLFD glyph encoding names need to be of the form
<registry>-<encoding>
i.e. two fields separated with a dash (`-').
