Hello Nikolai,

Sorry for the late reply to your mail, but I had to catch up on other things 
first after my holidays.

What Russian manual? There is no Russian translation in SVN...

However, I managed to solve a similar problem for Japanese using the 
Kochi-Mincho TrueType font. For Czech and Greek we currently use the Arial 
TrueType font.
Here is how I did it. All necessary files are attached.

- - install a Cyrillic TrueType font on your system
- - create directory build/fop/
- - copy attached modified files style.fo.xsl and buildfop.sh to build/
- - copy attached file config.xml to build/fop/
- - in shell, go to build/fop/ and run attached script
  'fop_make-ttfcm <fontname>' for the Cyrillic fonts
- - replace "Arial" by the Cyrillic fontnames in style-fo.xsl
- - build the html files as normal 
- - create the pdf using './buildfop.sh pdf <language>'

(I obtained the Arial fonts from msttcorefonts package. It could be Arial 
contains enough Cyrillic characters for your purpose. In that case the 
procedure would be slightly simpler.)

Good luck,
FJP
