ISO-8859-5 conversion

| Hello.
I have data which is in ISO-8859-5 format (cyrillic).
I need to view it correctly under Windows (ANSI CodePage 1251).
ISO-8859-5 is not a standard codepage on Windows:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ml_ref_scpg.asp
I have installed the additional character sets using the "regional settings"
in the control panel.
But unlike an automatic conversion by Windows as with ISO-8859-2 the
characters are not converted correctly.
What has to be done (preferably without coding anything) to achive the same
behaviour as with the ISO-8859-2 conversion?
Thank you.

| No, I display the data in a programmed GUI Interface.

the 'programmed GUI Interface' must be modified to use ISO-8859-5.
(selectable with ISO-8859-2)
If this 'programmed GUI Interface' is managed Code (C#/VB.NET),
the 'System.Text.Encoding' parameter used for data import has to be modified.
If you want to switch all data conversion for this app to cyrillic,
maybe AppLocale (XP/2003) helps:

but I'm not sure with ISO-8859-5
