I just tested it out with the .ru fonts provided by Vlad. It looks
*great*. To give this patch the highest available compliment, it Just
Works. Russian Church Secretarys, look out. :-)

Yes, that does look a little strange. Is there any reason that box can't
be a fixed size (it never has text in it)?
Just one comment - the ru-RU strings file, which you provided but has not
yet been committed, doesn't work. This is because expat doesn't like
files to be encoded in KOI8. Basically, expat only likes UTF-8. Is there
any way that this could be converted so that we can finish off Russian
support?
Thanks
