This is not my problem, since I am a Mac user. However, very useful
information on "Cyrillicization" of computers, including Windows, and even
including Netscape, is available from

http://sunsite.oit.unc.edu/sergei/Software/Software.html

The section pertaining to Netscape says the following:

_______________________________
Cyrillic characters in Netscape

This case is pretty much straightforward. If you are running a version for
X then you have to change all iso8859 to koi8. I presume that you have
installed cyrillic fonts for XWindows. If you are running the version for
Mac you only have to change preferences, again, installing fonts before. If
this is MSwindous, you have to get fonts first (see an appropriate
section), and then change preferences for scalable fonts. from the menu.
Then edit netscape.ini file and put the same font family name for the fixed
part.
