 It may be related to the fact that when you request font 
 -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-m-*-koi8-r
 what you actually get is the font 
 -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-koi8-ub
 koi8-ub is an encoding that contains glyphs from koi8-r, koi8-u, and then
 some; it is aliased to koi8-r. Still I can't see how it can be  a problem :)

+More info: selecting font
+-monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-m-*-koi8-r
+does show Cyrillic correctly but breaks display of iso8859-1
+characters with codes >127, e.g. accented French letters - they are
+shown as underscores _  
+
+ I tried to fix it by manually editing  ~/.gnome/gtkhtml and putting 
+there
+
+font_fixed=-monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-m-*-*-*
+
+(note * for encoding - instead of koi8-r).  Then iso8859-1 shows
+correctly but Cyrillic is not: it shows as nonsense  like 
+? 25@:0
+
+In short, I couldn't find a font setting which would allow me to see
+both iso8859-1 *and* koi8-r without need to change the font. It is
+quite frustrating, given that I do have a number of True Type fonts
+installed that have both Cyrillic and iso8859-1 glyphs (e.g.,
+monotype-courier new).

+PS. The bug is still there in Evolution 1.0
