I'm not sure.  At least, a while ago, bitmap fonts of legacy
registries (e.g. iso8859-X, koi8, etc) are better than
unicode bitmap fonts.  I think using cp1251 fonts for
cp1251-encoded file is a good default even now.  First of
all, if unicode is dominating by now, the chance of reading
cp1251 files should be rare.
