Not that my proposal was not in any way specific to Japanese.  It should
work equally well for Russian, given appropriate environment variable
setup (which is already needed anyway, for other programs / for NLS).

It's much more likely that a "do it only in a wrapper" solution, like
the Debian-JP one, will be severly limited to one of a few languages/
character sets.

Now *that* should be relegated to a wrapper, if you really want it.
Or just distribute a modified lynx.cfg.
