I gather you need the ttftool to support cp1251, that is easy to do, I
will get that done in next couple of days, I only need you to tell me
what Unicode character represents character 0x98 in cp1251, for
some reason it is missing in my i18n maps.
If the only difference between the font encoding and the encoding
part of LANG is capitalsation, it should not cause any problems,
just use the version that is returned by LANG as a name for the
font subdirectory. You should be able to use AW already if you
have any pfa fonts encoded for cp1251 (they have to be genuinely
encoded for cp1251 though, often these recoded fonts get the
correct glyphs in them, but use the iso-8859-1 names for them, in
which case AW cannot print with them as they are).
