Could you expand on this?  All I had ever heard was CF = NO UNICODE!  I 
haven't seen any documents breaking down which parts of CF are unicode safe 
and which parts aren't.

In reply to the actual question about Cyrilic Fonts, could you use an ISO 
encoding instead of unicode?  Cyrilic is a single byte character set and 
therefore should be safe to use with CF.
