May we explicitly set the needed font around language environments?
Something like
\setfontforrussian
\selectlanguage{russian}
....
\setfontforbulgarian
\selectlanguage{bulgarian}
....

I am not sure if I like "russian*" idea. May you explain a bit more
about how onchar works? What if language characters are intersecting,
and not using exactly the same char sets?
