  Thanks for your question.  We are aware of this problem and are
still looking into it.  It appears that the behavior is being dictated
by Windows and not necessarily by a problem in Lisp.  

  If you are using Windows NT, you should be able to set Russian text
in all your controls if you set your default locale (from regional
settings in the control panel) to Russian.  This action requires a
reboot as new system fonts are installed.
