I'm using Russian and I don't ever need multibyte support.
Cyrrilic is 8bit encoding.
$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
LC_TIME="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_ALL=
I'm using my windows fonts *.ttf for X (Arial, Courier New, etc.).
They support a bunch of encoding like koi8, iso*.

I'm sure russian can work without any multibyte support.
For example, I compiled Vim without multibyte and it grok me fine.
