No. I am working in koi8-r and I am accustomed to cp1252 letters as they look
in koi8-r. (I do not enter them - I only copy from some other source). The
editor (mcedit) just show them as is. That is why I am using it for the task
(usually I am using Emacs).

Not in my Emacs 21. Probably I need some additional tweaking?
