creating such a font isn't the problem (there are different character code
tables for the cyrillic alphabet, though). vdr should be able to select a
different font file depending on the selected language first.
if you're going to implement such a functionality, I could test it and
write the Russian i18n.c entries.
I think, the font selection should be done on a per-string basis. just
imagine some new constants in i18n.c which don't have a translation - they
would have to be displayed in english then (with a standard font)
