:The Russian version only provides an implementation of Windows-1251 for regular and bold fonts. The five italic fonts (7pt, 9pt, 10pt, 12pt and 14pt) have exactly the same data (pixels and glyph descriptors) as for the European iteration of Mac OS Roman. This makes sense because italic fonts are inherently broken (see [[/Fonts | :The Russian version only provides an implementation of Windows-1251 for regular and bold fonts.

:Somewhat surprisingly, the 14pt bold TSFT in the Russian version of TSFFTahoma does not have a complete Windows-1251 code page either. Instead it is limited to the US-ASCII character set (including the "printable delete" box at code point 0x7F), i.e., the upper section of the above table (white background). This causes no issue in vanilla Oni, but only because there is no text that uses 14pt bold. | :Somewhat surprisingly, the 14pt bold TSFT in the Russian version of TSFFTahoma does not have a complete Windows-1251 code page either.
