Just to confirm that we are talking about the same thing here: If you 
run gnucash, all the button labels and menus are correctly translated 
into russian, and correctly displayed in cyrillic? But in any HTML 
report (e.g. the profit and loss report or the balance sheet) you only 
see blank lines?

Then I wonder how much we can do about it. Maybe gtkhtml is just totally 
broken with respect to cyrillic, or the gnome font installation has 
problems (on the other hand, if the normal labels work fine, it can't be 
too bad). Can you try the "Show URL" report (I've forgotten the actual 
name) in the "Utility reports" submenu (or was it in the Help menu?)? 
Then, in that report, enter the URL of a website that you know has 
cyrillic characters on it. If it does *not* work, too, then we are 
sorry, but we probably can't fix that from gnucash. Instead, you would 
need to bug the gtkhtml developers to fix it.

Regards,

Christian
