problems with Cyrillic input on Windows standalone: SOLVED

[Curt Ford]

Homework graded, I finally get back to this issue...

I flailed around making builds with different combinations of textFont  
settings, etc., tried 2.9 with the same results, and was about to post  
answers to Devin's questions, when I remembered my wife's iMac still  
has the old copy of 2.8.1.

Took the file over, made a quick build and there it is - the Cyrillic  
works great everywhere, including Windows standalones.

That'll teach me not to test EVERYTHING on both platforms when a new  
version comes out. Should I try to work out a simple recipe & post  
this as a 2.9/3.0 bug?

Of course now I can't use the unicodeTitle that I'd been so glad to  
see introduced in 2.9.. and should probably check on other possible  
issues like that....

Thanks, everyone who contributed thoughts!
