Internet Explorer apparently suppports downloadable fonts, but the downside
is that the page will only be viewable in MSIE, and you will also have to
resolve issues of copyright. Unicode won't cut it either, it does not
include accented vowels for Cyrillic. I suggest either bolding accented
vowels or putting stress accents in front of them.
