Nothing of the sort.  All you need are some fonts.  The trick is figuring
out what Cyrillic coding is used. Most of the pages you see which use
Cyrillic are in koi8.  To that end, go to Options/Preferences from your menu
and then select fonts.  There you will be given a choice of selecting a
proportional font and/or a monospace font.  For the proportional fonts you
have a nice selection at the following URL:

Click on "Computing" in the table of Contents and the rest should be
straightforward.
