Vasily-

You'll have to forgive my ignorance regarding foreign character sets, but I
think that Erich converted a Cyrillic character set into a pcb font. If
that would work for you, it would be pretty easy to get that into the font
branch I've been working on, and you could give that a try. It doesn't
solve the footprint text problem, but it could give you access to other
fonts.

If you're interested, please let me know and I can try to help you with it.

Thanks,
--Chad

You can replace the default single font. As long as pcb supports only 1 fon=
