[xep-support] Russian Characters

[Matthew Richardson]

I actually had to deal with this issue a while back. Make sure the XML is
properly encoded (UTF-8), and make sure XEP is using a font that supports
Cyrillic characters. In my case, I had to purchase a unicode version of
Arial, and then modify the xep.xml file:

  <fonts xmlns="http://www.renderx.com/XEP/config"
         xml:base="fonts/"
         default-family="Arial">
    
    <font-group label="Russian Project" embed="true" subset="true">
      <font-family name="Arial">
        <font><font-data ttf="ARIALUNI.TTF"/></font>
        <font style="oblique"><font-data ttf="ariali.ttf"/></font>
        <font weight="bold"><font-data ttf="arialbd.ttf"/></font>
        <font weight="bold" style="oblique"><font-data
ttf="arialbi.ttf"/></font>
     </font-family>
    </font-group>


Etc. 

Hope this helps.
