To save you the trouble, your font is encoded in windows-1251
codepage.

There is no reason why Emacs would select this font for displaying
iso8859-5, and since your X resources do not specify to use that
font, my only guess is that some misconfiguration of you font server
is causing it to be selected when Emacs requests an iso8859-5 font.
