I have the problem on just a simple HTML page, no CSS. For example, with non-Cyrillic fonts, <H1> is different than the body of the text, but not with Cyrillic fonts. I don't have scalable Cyrillic fonts, but do have bitmap Cyrillic fonts of different sizes, and Mozilla can definitely find them. Surely it should select the closest size to that required? If I need scalable fonts, where can I get them in a format I can use? I am using the VMS operating system, so I would need them in a format which VMS can use or in a format which I can compile.
