[issue8374] Some locales are unsupported

With the changes to the encodings for some of the locales (e.g. 'ru'), I
would advise against such a backport.

This also demonstrates one fundamental flaw of the approach: even if X11
decides that 'ru' should be using "UTF-8", some local installations will
certainly differ. Likewise when they decided that "ru" uses iso-8859-5.
