They are not always. You see, just as you have different sets of latin
characters for different languages, you have different sets of cyrilic
characters for different languages. Prehaps in Russian the letters are the
same, only bigger, but in Serbian they are not. Some letters are very
different. So, it really depends what language you need to support.

Now, back to 5x7 question. Most letters do fit, but there are some that can
mean trouble. Take a look at this page and see if everything fits:

The most problematic letters are: ж, њ and Љ. I hope they show up correctly in
your e-mail client. I use Mozilla, that displays it correctly.
