lack of Mac OS X intuition: system menu

Cool, thanks, Jacque! Since you know everything, do you also know why
revBrowser won't display double-byte (Unicode Cyrillic) characters when my
stack runs/is developed in Mac OS X (Tiger and Snow Leopard)? It displays
two single-byte characters for each Cyrillic letter, which makes the text
unreadable. The English text, including styles, displays fine, and this is
not font-dependent: when I change the font in the HTML, Cyrillic is still
garbled in the same way. The same stack works fine in Windows. The regular
browsers on the Mac display the same Web pages correctly--but revBrowser
doesn't. Does revBrowser work differently in Mac OS X than it does in
Windows?
