The russ chars look fine in Telegram too.  (But not in OpenXP  
because there is no font suitable for console mode that will  
support russian and english chars simultaneously).

Don't worry about the Latvian. The chars wouldn't be supported  
in any fixed-width TTF (that this console program would use)  
that I know of anyway, either.
