-If there's no standard, I'll just blow off a dozen or so Greek characters
-and use that space, but I'm sure these characters must have standard codes.
-Also, how about the Russian alphabet?

Try ISO 8859/2 for East European languages and ISO 8859/5 for Cyrillic
(note ISO 8859/1 is "ISO Latin", for Western European languages).  All
of the ISO 8859 standard character sets have US ASCII as the lower half.

BTW, I have an 8 x 8 screen font for Russian Cyrillic characters, if
anyone's interested.  (GEM format, so you might have to convert to something
more standard).
