Does the problem description belongs to standard package of AW-0.7 from
OpenBSD, or it's about 0.7.12 built by yourself?
I recommend you to build 0.7.12 yourself. If the problem you've described is
about 0.7.12, then it seems that you didn't update your 'AbiWord' wrapper
script - so you don't have russian fonts in X server or font server fontpath.
Just run xlsfonts while AW is running and see whether the russian fonts you've
installed are in your font path.

It's impossible to tell until the exact version number (e.g. 0.7.10) of this
version is known. Blame package supplier for naming package in the wrong way.

It would be nice if you provided some. Nobody of AW developers uses OpenBSD
daily IIRC - that's the reason why packages for OpenBSD are not available.
Thanks.
