So Emacs thinks it is displaying an iso-8859-5 character.

To be precise, the character 128+64 = 192.

I don't know this font.  Is it encoded in iso8859-5, or in another
encoding?  I'd expect the font name to end in iso8859-5 if it was in
that encoding, so I suspect it's in the wrong encoding.

Maybe you told it via the X11 resources.  What happens when you tell
Emacs to use an iso-8859-5 font, via the same way that you now chose
that font?
