I've tested it now and it worked well in both directions.

You're right.  But we return back to the initial problem: I have 
-monotype-courier new-*-iso10646-1 and -cronyx-courier-*-iso10646-1, 
both with cyrillic characters.  But instead of these, 
-adobe-courier-*-iso10646-1 is used, which hasn't cyrillic characters. 
And I think that this -adobe-courier-*-iso10646-1 is part of XFree86, so 
it's almost everywhere and f^Hruins everything.  IMHO cyrillic 
characters in windows-1251 has to be mapped to koi8-r or iso8859-5 font 
  (when not in Bulgarian lang.env.), instead of iso10646-1 font.  But 
which of these two fonts is more popular world-wide -- I don't know.

Given that Bulgarian language environment is automatically selected when 
LANG=bg_BG, I'm completely satisfied with this.
