Cyrillic fonts do not work, having troubles...

I can't make Cyrillic fonts work. How do I go about?
Tried to search the forums and the internet with no results apart from some info about installing issues.

btw the search forum is really crap , I hope we will return to the old one with advance option.

You can use ttf fonts by installing them on your computer and then using a t2d text object or using one of the gui controls (like an mlTextCtrl) which stands for markup language text edit control.

They get compiled into a binary file when you use them in common/data/fonts (Cant recall the exact folder) ... That way the font doesnt have to be installed on your end users machine.

Also you must save your scripts containing russian texts with UTF-8 encoding without BOM. You can use Notepad++ for this.

Important note: Only the characters you use are extracted to UTFs. So if you want to use more symbols than the current bitmap fonts support, you need to clear the font cache and regenerate.

It doesnt show russian letters. I copied Georgia.ttf font with russian (cyrillic) letters from my windows/fonts to my \common\data\fonts game folder.
