It prints Cyrillic from XP fine, but I can't seem to print pages in Cyrillic from Fedora 2. Pages in English print just fine. What files do I have to configure? Please HELP.

For example I was trying to print the following url:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ukrainian/index.shtml
The pictures came out ok, but text in Ukrainian was not there. The space was empty with the exception of a few garbled characters. I think I printed postscript.
How do I make sure the job contains the fonts? Where do I specify that.
Thank you.

Olga
