Something is broken there, notepad with Russian locale should use Russian UI, but it doesn't. Do you really have the ru_RU locale installed or aliased? Perhaps "C" locale gets used instead, and that leads to some trouble.
To show you that different fonts are used I manually recompiled Wine with only the English language built-in.
I can show you "Russian" notepad if you'd like to, but to demonstrate that fonts actually differ a lot, I used the English one.
Comparison of +font logs would probably help to figure this out, but I'd guess that your fontconfig may be responsible for what you're seeing.
