Seems that it grabs your default Windows ANSI charset for
menus, etc. This doesn't depend on the existance or non-
existance of the proper font on your system, just on windows-
specific settings. If it is the case, I'd think it's impossible to
change the charset used for the menus *of one particular
application*...

I don't use Russian menus *even* when the program supports
this. Never did. I'm accustomed to English menus and besides
Russian menus are usually much more "verbose" then English
ones. I'll bet our German friends face the same problem:-).
"Скопировать" instead of "Copy" is really not very pleasant in
the menus, it's too long for me. It's all right in the everyday life
(because Russian has very different grammar structure from
English and many things are omitted, for example we do not
use things like "the", "a" etc.), but in menus I don't like it.
