Have you got any -iso8859-5 fonts available to your X server? (Are you even
on X11?)

Non-CVS GNU Emacs doesn’t support that MIME character set out of the box,
from what I can see.

Try a CVS version of GNU Emacs--it should have better Cyrillic support, at
least for windows-1251. I don’t believe that any version of GNU Emacs will
use your Windows-1251 fonts, though my local copy of 21.3.1 does interpret
iso-8859-5 characters correctly in a Unicode context. (Whether they display
correctly is still up to the X11 server, of course.)

Off-topic, but what, specifically, convinced you to move from XEmacs?
