I don't know if anyone has successfully ported the X11 server
to the UNIX PC.  If you can get a server running on the
UNIX-PC then X11 Release 4 has fairly extensive support
for internationalization - including a Cyrillic font.
X11 also lets you re-map the keyboard.

Project Athena at MIT.  It has gained very wide industry acceptance.)
