Hi.
I just tested this on Mac, RHEL5 and RHEL4 and this is what I found:
On Mac and RHEL 5, it works the same as on RHEL6: simply copy the ttf to /usr/discreet/font or to the OS's fonts folder and then you can load that font in the text module and type text in Cyrillic.
On RHEL4, you need to copy the font, then use the
setenv LANG ru_RU.utf-8 command in the Terminal and start Smoke or Flame from the Terminal. Then you can select the ttf font and type Cyrillic in the text module.
In all cases I found that the OS language should remain set to US-english, otherwise no text appears when you type. Also, you can use Cyrillic font in the text module only, not in Smoke's UI (e.g. in name fields or in the virtual keyboard).
Hope this clears things up.
regards,
Robert.
