There is one fangame in russian which seems to feature kyrillic text display/font usage in-game.
This doesn't work with the Hercules Hires font. No kyrillic characters are found and displayed.

I don't know how much of foreign character support is there *within* the AGI engine and i also don't know if anyone would want to invest time in supporting one single AGI fangame.
But still nice to have it...not that i'd be able to read kyrillic anyway :-)

I attach the fangame for conveniance.

This is a sole problem of the Hercules Hires font lacking kyrillic characters (which PC-BIOS does, as it seems)

Right, Hercules font does not contain Cyrillic characters. Thus, I implemented a check and ignore the selection for Russian titles.
