Not really, an element can have only 3 text objects, from which only 1 is=

visible at any given time.

It's not related to fonts. It's the limited footprint model.

YOu are not doing it wrong, I think currently your only option is that=20
conversion.

You can replace the default single font. As long as pcb supports only 1=20
font, you'll probably have trouble packign both russian and english=20
alphabet in the available symbol space.
