problems with Cyrillic input on Windows standalone

Извинете Ричмънд!

My app needs to allow users to type in information, then save it to a  
text file (or custom property of a separate stack). In another part of  
the app info from these files is read in, displayed & manipulated in  
various ways - so it's all got to be dynamic. Using HTMLText has  
worked well for Russian and several other languages, and info can be  
written out and read in on either platform; I'd gotten the tip from  
some of Devin Asay's materials, like at

It's just this strange input problem on Windows standalones that's  
come up - none of the fields, on several cards, take Cyrillic anymore.
