Probably I didn't make my position clear enough and somehow you misunderstood me and decided that I propose to use code page 20866 instead of 1251 for russian locale under Wine. But that's not the case. I only proposed to create filenames on disk in encoding used natively in Linux.
Will Windows then be able to read them in Russian?
Sure, thanks to magic mounting options I mentioned earlier. Native Linux localized applications know nothing about anything other than KOI8-R, and filenames created by them on a vfat partition are readable under Windows just fine.
If not, I think having compatibility problems is not worth it.
Yes, I also think so.
