just a dummy question... does the different fonts your tests refer to have all the glyphs required ? (or said differently, isn't this a font issue about the required glyphs for russian ?) A+
By default (in 866 OEM codepage) wine console renderer behaves just like windows does, the difference appears iff I change codepage to 1251 ANSI. So it is not missing glyphs problem - I do not change font while changing codepage.
