That sounds like a very good reason NOT to store this file in coding system cp1251. I asked Does cp1251 work on GNU without the need to do anything special? and you said yes, but this information suggests the real answer is no. It is necessary to do something special, to call codepage-setup, to make it work. If cp1251 is the de-facto standard coding system for Bulgarian, perhaps we should put its definition into a standardly-loaded file, so that nothing special is needed to use it. Is that feasible? Otherwise we should store this file in some other coding system. Why do you think the choice of coding system would affect whether people can display the fonts? The general idea of Mule coding systems is that you get the same characters in the buffer regardless of which coding system you use.
